White Peony Tea

White Peony Tea, also known as Bai Mu Dan, is a Chinese loose leaf white tea made from tender buds and young leaves. It sits between the delicate sweetness of Silver Needle and the fuller, mellow character of Gong Mei, giving it a balanced floral aroma, soft body, and pale golden liquor. This is an approachable white tea for drinkers who want a gentle cup with more texture and leaf sweetness than very light bud-only white teas.
