Bai Mu Dan white tea (White peony)
Bai Mudan (White Peony) is a white alpine tea, one of the most famous white teas in the world, whose noble and aristocratic taste has long been a benchmark. It is grown in southeastern China, in Fujian Province in Fuding County, which is considered the world capital of white tea.
White teas are almost impossible to process, only dried for three days outdoors. Therefore, they retain all the properties generously given by nature. For this tea, collect only the kidney covered with delicate white hair and the top two leaves of young tea shoots. After drying, they darken, and the kidney remains light, with a silver tinge. The combination of buds and young leaves gives rise to a surprisingly harmonious mix of flowers and sweet fruits in the aroma.
