    Our Bai Mu Dan comes from Fuding County, Fujian Province. Its two leaf and a bud combination comes from the Da Bai tea tree, picked in mid-April after the individual tea buds that make up Silver Needle have been gathered.

    Once picked, the leaves undergo a gradual "fade", during which time, the leaves are slightly enzymatically oxidized before they are given a final low temperature bake. This classic white tea crafting method enhances the sweetness and mouth feel of this tea, while preserving the natural character of the tea leaves.

    Bai Mu Dan brews a light golden infusion with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of dried apricot and almonds.

    These brewing recommendations are a great starting point for many tea styles, since 180°F water is warm enough to extract satisfying flavor, while still being cool enough to limit bitterness or astringency. To change the strength of your brew, try adjusting the amount of tea leaves you use instead of changing the water temperature.
