White Peony (Bai Mu Dan)

White Tea by The Persimmon Tree Tea Company

This organic white loose-leaf tea is harvested in just a few weeks of the year in the northern district of Fujian, China.This prized Peony White tea is hand picked, selecting only the top two leaves and a bud. The fresh leaves then go immediately through a simple drying and withering process. Our White Peony tea has many buds and brews a fresh cup with a mild, sweet flavor.
