We are sometimes asked if white tea is healthier than green tea and whether white tea has less caffeine than other types of tea. This is difficult to answer because factors like the brewing temperature and time will affect the infusion. What is true is that both white and green teas contain high amounts of antioxidants and White Peony is a great introduction to white tea.
Bai Mu Dan (White Peony ) white tea is an excellent choice for tea lovers looking for a fuller, slightly stronger flavour profile than we would expect from Silver Needle white tea. Unlike Silver Needle, Bai Mu Dan is made from a combination of young buds and the first two leaves, resulting in a balanced and robust flavour with light floral and fruity notes, accompanied by a subtle sweetness. Its moderate caffeine content and rich antioxidant properties make it both invigorating and healthy. In addition, Bai Mu Dan is more affordable than some premium white teas, such as Silver Needle, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate high quality tea but do not always have the time to make multiple infusions or want to pay the price for premium tea.
Bai Mu Dan (White Peony), is one of the most natural expressions of tea. The leaves are either sun dried, naturally dried indoors or machine dried at low temperatures. This fine, organically produced Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) has a lively aroma and a light and engaging flavour with hints of flowers and honeydew melon. This tea is great for someone who has never tried white tea before, but it will also be a pleasant surprise to tea lovers who already know the delicate taste of white tea and know and love Silver Needle.
This particular batch of Bai Mu Dan White Tea comes from the Mangbai tea garden in Cangyuan County, Yunnan Province, located approximately 170 kilometres west of the city of Pu’er and near the border with Myanmar. The region’s high elevation and pristine natural environment contribute to the tea’s purity and depth of flavour. Notably, this harvest includes a particularly high proportion of tender, flavoursome tips, which lend the infusion its delicate sweetness, floral aroma, and smooth, lingering finish.
