White Peony, Baimudan

Bai mu dan (or 'pai mu dan'), also known as White Peony, is a national Chinese flower. When you steep this tea, you’ll see that the green leaves are surrounding the silver needle buds resembling a White Peony, hence its name. While a loose leaf bai mu dan is great for drinking it fresh, this white tea cake is perfect for long-term storage allowing the leaves to acquire a mellow sweet flavor. Given the young age of this white tea, it still has a long way to go before complete aging. The taste currently features soft and floral notes as you can expect from a fresh white tea. However, as it continues to age, the taste will slowly evolve notes of ripe fruit.
