White Peony "Bai Mudan"

This white tea is grown in northern Fujian Province of China and is traditionally known as Bai Mudan. This lot was picked in early April and was grown right on the coast, on terraced hills completely covered with tea plants. The traditional varietal "fuding da hao" shows off the down-covered buds and young leaves. The farmer used to work for a large company but is now making smaller amounts on land shared with two partners. The resulting tea is very voluminous; you may need a full two tablespoons for a serving.

Price $30.25

Country: China

How to Brew White Teas

White tea is best brewed with warm water, ranging from 170-185 F. Carefully remove the top to your kettle and when tiny bubbles are forming on the heating element or rise from the bottom is when you have achieved this temperature. Generally these teas are extremely light weight and you have to be sure to add enough leaf to the cup or pot. Then the tea needs a good long steep, 4 or 5 minutes for the first one. When you add a minute or two to each subsequent steep, these teas will go for at least 3 steeps. This extended time is necessary to allow the leaves enclosing the bud to open up and release their flavor to the cup.

White teas are perfect to enjoy in the evening after a light dinner. Avoid drinking them after eating spiced foods, as much of the delicacy of their taste will be lost. They are also an alternative for people who want to drink green teas for their health benefits, but find the taste of some greens too strong for their palates.
