Bai Mu Dan, sometimes called Pai Mu Tan or White Peony, is the quintessential white tea. A fine pick—the top three leaves—of tea that is simply plucked, withered, then packaged. Essentially no processing goes into producing this type of tea, so it could be said it is one of the purest teas around. Savory, viscous, and highly muscatel, this full-bodied white tea is a perfect daily drinker and is every bit as healthful as your typical green tea. Expect pure, long-lasting energy, and a pleasant feeling of hydration after working through the multiple steeps this magically simple tea will offer.
