White Peony, 'Bai Mu Dan'
White tea, China

20g

Green banana, hay, raw sugar
This Spring 2020 harvest white tea comes from Fuding in Fujian province, China, where its rich, loamy soil and mild weather conditions produce sweet and tender teas. Known in China as Bai Mu Dan, White Peony consists of the bud plus two leaves, hand-plucked off each stem, then simply dried to preserve their natural flavour.

Ultra-light in body, this beautiful tea has a sweet aroma and notes of green banana, summer hay and raw sugar. Smooth and soft with no astringency and one that keeps rewarding you over multiple steeps.

Preparation: Steep for 4 minutes at 85°. Four infusions
