This classic white tea is grown in Fujian Province, China, and is known as Bai Mudan, or White Peony. This lot is grown on beautifully terraced hills near the coast, and is hand-picked in April, after the Silver Needle harvest. The traditional cultivar shows off the tea plant’s down-covered buds and tender young leaves, which are maintained through minimal processing: a simple withering in the sun, or inside using warm air. The resulting tea is very lightly oxidized, yet maintains a unique fresh quality.

The leaves are very voluminous; use a few tablespoons per serving, and prepare with water below boiling (180° F) to highlight the bright sorrel aroma and refreshing, sweet-crisp flavor—like biting into a just-picked green apple. Try infusing the same leaves multiple times. Despite its delicate texture, white tea can hold up well through several steeps.

Very enjoyable

Like all the teas I have purchased from IPOT, this one is just as described. I enjoy the flavor, the mildness—and it’s just as delicious after the first steep.

Perfect afternoon into evening tea

When I decided to cut back on a glass of wine in the evening, water was too boring. Then I discovered white tea -- this one and Silver Needle. I like to make a small pot of the White Peony so I can sip for a couple hours. And if I need more, it really does hold up for additional steeps.

Truly delicious

This is truly a delicious tea. The

I am enjoying white tea these days for its health benefits and low caffeine content. This Bai Mudan is fresh and light.
