Special Grade White Tea with a unique nutty and bamboo fragrance and a sweet, savory aftertaste. Our White Chinese Tea is the highest and best quality organic Fujian Province loose tea leaves.

Bai Mudan, which is a white tea leaf, is a type of white Peony tea made from one leaf shoot and two immediate young leaves. Bai Mudan is sometimes preferred by white tea drinkers for its fuller flavor and greater potency than the other major type of white tea. The typical taste of Bai Mudan is a result of both the processing and the tea plant cultivars employed in the production.

The family of tea cultivars used in producing Bai Mudan are the "Dai Bai" varieties. In eastern Fujian, the cultivar Fuding Dai Bai is used. Genuine Bai Mudan is a white tea, therefore, it is a very slightly oxidized tea that yields extremely low caffeine. The leaves are sun-withered for an extended period of time and then piled briefly for oxidation, during which enzymes of the tea leaves interact with other compounds to form new materials that result in the final taste and aroma character of the tea. Depending on the weather, conditions of the tea leaves and the taste style requirements of the finished products, the sunning may last between 1 to 3 days and the piling between half and 3 hours.

The leaves are then baked to dry for packing. It is important to note that the handling of the leaves remains gentle and non-intrusive throughout the process to avoid breaking of the cell structure. This is needed because once the cell walls are physically broken, oxidation of the leaves quickens and the quality will be compromised. Although the processing steps are simpler than those for other teas, the long process and the variable factors during which are key cost factors.

You will notice a very mild peony aroma when brewing the tea and a floral aroma, the tea is best brewed with good mineral water and at 70°C to 80°C (158°F to 176°F). The brew is a very pale green or golden color. The flavor is fruity; stronger than Silver Needle, yet not as strong as Shou Mei. The finest quality should have a shimmering clear infusion with a delicate lingering fragrance and a fresh, mellow, sweet taste devoid of astringency, and grassy flavors.

Loose Leaf Tea Leaves come in 3.53oz (100 gr) resealable vacfoil packages.
