The 2024 Spring "Bai Mu Dan - 1 Ji" (Baimudan - 1st Grade) A++++ is an exemplary loose leaf white tea, sourced from the celebrated tea-growing region of Fuding, Fujian Province. This tea represents the pinnacle of quality with its A++++ grade, ensuring that only the finest, most carefully harvested leaves are selected.
Crafted from the early spring harvest of 2024, this Bai Mu Dan or White Peony tea is made from the tender buds and top leaves, which are picked when their flavor and aroma are at their peak. The leaves are a visual delight, with silvery-white buds surrounded by vibrant green leaves, reminiscent of the peony flower after which it is named.
Upon brewing, the tea yields a clear, golden-yellow liquor, noted for its brightness and clarity. The aroma is subtly floral with a fresh, grassy undertone, capturing the essence of spring. The taste profile is remarkably smooth and mellow, characterized by a natural sweetness that unfolds on the palate.
It offers a well-rounded mouthfeel, with layers of flavor that include vegetal notes, reminiscent of fresh hay and melon, coupled with a hint of honeyed sweetness. The aftertaste is long-lasting, leaving a clean, slightly sweet impression that invites further sips.
This tea is not only a treat for the taste buds but also for the senses, providing a soothing and comforting experience. Its high grade ensures a rich, full-bodied cup with exceptional flavor complexity, making it a perfect choice for those seeking the finest in white tea offerings.
