White Peony (Bai Mu Dan)

This lovely light but full tea, Sri Lankan White Peony tea. It provides a lovely refreshing smooth experience.

Gorgeous well formed buds, if you look closely you can see the tiny hairs still on them, a sign of excellent quality white tea.
Light and fresh floral on the nose, with a lingering sweet finish.
Upon further infusions, the fragrant floral notes give way to a refreshing lychee taste. Reminiscent of these fresh spring mornings.

White tea is known to be a little delicate, however this tea is quite robust which does mean it can hold it’s own against boiling water.
In order to experience the floral notes please ensure you follow the brewing instructions to release the full complexity from these amazing leaves.
