Organic White Peony
Origin: Fujian Province, China
Bai Mu Dan or White Peony is a popular style of white tea made of young tea leaves and silvery unopened leaf buds. Our White Peony comes from Zhenghe town in Fujian Province, the original birthplace of white tea centuries ago. Two leaves and a bud are hand picked followed by a gentle and slow air-dry withering process results in a brilliant amber infusion with a honey-like viscosity and mild sweet melon flavor.
Brewing: water 6oz & 190˚F / leaves - generous 1 Teaspoon / steeping - 2 -3 mins.
White teas are the most natural form of tea that is processed for consumption. The downy premature leaves of the tea plant are hand picked during the early spring season only. They are grown in the northern part of the Fugian province in China. They are delicate in nature and are reputed to be higher in antioxidants than green tea according to Western medicinal findings. Since they are extremely low in caffeine, white teas are a perfect choice to drink at night or throughout the day.
