White Peony (Bai Mudan) Cake (2012 vintage—spring harvest)
Weight: 256 grams (9.03 oz)
Type: White tea pressed into a cake
Production area: Fuding, Fujian Province, China
USDA organic certified, this tea is made from leaves picked at the end of March. After a few years of aging, this tea exhibits a deeper golden hue and exudes enduring sweet plum and honey fragrances. After five infusions, the flavor of apple emerges and a strong “hui Gan” (sweet aftertaste) coats the entire mouth.
Aged white tea is very popular in recent years due to its reputed health benefits. Loose leaves are compressed into cakes to enhance aging. Store this cake in a dry and air tight container to avoid exposure to odors and humidity.
