Bai Mu Dan, or White Peony, is often considered the second highest grade of white tea (after Silver Needle) and was traditionally produced in the northern Fujian Province of China. It comes from the top two leaves and bud of the tea bush, which can be shade dried and/or lightly fired. This gives White Peony a pale cup color and delicate, nutty aroma. The complex flavor is toasty, slightly sweet and creamy, with a clean aftertaste.

Madison Z. ★★★★★

Pouring this Bai Mu Dan, the liquor is a clear pale gold and the aroma immediately takes me back to a quiet Fujian afternoon. The leaves are beautifully whole with those silvery buds mixed in, and the taste is smooth and mellow with no bitterness even after a few minutes in the cup.

Emma A. ★★★★★

The liquor brews a pale gold that’s almost translucent, and the taste is so delicately sweet it’s like sipping fresh hay and honey at once. I’ve had Silver Needle before, but this white peony has a bit more body to it, which I actually prefer for an afternoon cup.

Julian L. ★★★★★

Opened the bag and the dried silvery buds and leaves smell so clean and fresh. The liquor is smooth and mellow, exactly what I hoped a White Peony would be, especially since it's from the northern Fujian region. Definitely my new go-to after Silver Needle.
