Bai Mu Dan 白牡丹 — Everyday Collection

Bai Mu Dan, or White Peony, is a traditional white-tea picking grade composed of one substantial bud and two leaves. Crafted with sun and wind in Fu Ding, it is one of white tea’s most dynamic expressions: floral and herbaceous when young, with fruit, mead-like richness and deeper woody tones emerging through age.

Translated to White Peony, Bai Mu Dan is the second picking grade of white tea from its birthplace and most renowned town, Dian Tou, Fu Ding.

The outspoken floral aroma of this tea will transport you to a field filled with wildflowers basking in the sun. Its viscid texture, golden color, and long-lasting sweet finish remind us of honey.

The official second grade of white tea, Bai Mu Dan, consists of one fat bud and two leaves. This Bai Mu Dan was harvested in mid-Spring. It is made of the cultivar Da Hao, Hua Chao Er Hao, aka China Tea #2.
