Aged Bai Mu Dan White Tea

Origin and History

• Region: Peony White Tea is primarily produced in Fujian Province, China, particularly in the Fuding and Zhenghe regions, which are renowned for their white tea production.
• History: Bai Mudan has a long history dating back several centuries. It is named after the peony flower due to the tea's resemblance to the petals of the flower when brewed.

Harvesting and Processing

• Harvest Season: Peony White Tea is harvested in early spring when the buds and young leaves are plump and full of flavor. The timing of the harvest is crucial to ensure the tea's delicate qualities.
• Processing: The processing of Peony White Tea involves minimal oxidation:
  1. Withering: The freshly picked buds and leaves are spread out to wither naturally, allowing them to lose moisture and begin to soften.
  2. Drying: The tea is then gently dried to halt oxidation and preserve its natural color and flavor. This minimal processing helps maintain the tea's delicate and natural characteristics.
