Bai Mu Dan 2022 (White Peony) 白牡丹

Chinese name: Bai Mu Dan 白牡丹

The Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) is a well-known Chinese white tea in China and now abroad. Thanks to its typical appearance of large downy silvery buds supported by the leaves around it, many found it resembles the beautiful peony flowers.

Because of its light oxidation and careful sun-withering, Bai Mu Dan retains antioxidants and a calming energy, making it a favorite for both casual drinking and mindful tea sessions. The 2022 harvest in Fuding benefited from favorable weather, yielding leaves with excellent clarity of flavor and a graceful aging potential—over time, it can develop warmer notes of honey, jujube, and spice.

This tea belongs to our Yìn 印 | TRACE collection.

• Aroma: Fresh, floral, and slightly herbaceous, with notes of peony blossom, dried hay, and a touch of honey.
  
• Taste: Smooth and mellow, with gentle sweetness reminiscent of melon and stone fruits, balanced by a soft vegetate undertone and a lingering, refreshing finish.
  
• Mouthfeel: Silky and clean, with a cooling sensation on the palate

Warm Brew

5g | 120ml | 95 °C | 20s

We recommend a steeping temperature of 95 °C (205 °F), where you can set the boiling water aside and allow it to cool down for less than a minute. Then take 5 grams of tea with 120ml water to steep for 20 seconds. It can be re-steeped up to 7-8 times when using a tea egg, filter bag, or Chinese Gaiwan/Yixing teapot.

You can always adjust the quantity and brewing time based on your preference. When using a larger container like a tea pot, you can take a small quantity and leave it in for a few minutes.

Cold brew

5g | 750ml | 5 °C | 12 hrs

Take 5 grams of tea with 750ml water and keep it in the fridge for 12 hours. We recommend preparing it in the evening before you go to bed, or in the morning so you can enjoy it during the day. If you want to keep it in the bottle for longer hours, please start with a lower amount of tea to avoid getting too strong.
