2012 Bai Mu Dan
This sheng-style aged white tea comes to us from Fujian Province in eastern China, the home of China's famous white teas. Made from the Zhenghe Da Bai cultivar and harvested in 2012, this aged white tea is ready to drink or keep.
White teas are typically made from either the Fuding Da Bai or Zhenghe Da Bai cultivars. Having more body than the Fuding Da Bai cultivar (prized for its large buds), the Zhenghe Da Bai cultivar allows for better and more interesting maturation of the leaves. As aged teas continue to gain in popularity outside Yunnan, it is interesting to observe the evolving expertise and artistry among tea craftsmen. Our 2012 Bai Mu Dan was produced by Yang Mao Wang, and we are delighted by his processing of the leaves and attention to detail.
Expect a refreshing and delicate cup typical of white teas, but with the distinct flavors of its age: stewed fall fruits and toasted wood.
Note: This 200g cake contains 40 first-steep portions of tea, each of which will yield 10-12 beautifully evolving resteeps.
