Aged White Peony (Bai Mudan)

Aged White Peony (Bai Mudan) is a beautifully matured white tea, crafted from a mix of tender buds and young leaves and transformed over time into something deeper and more expressive. With years of natural aging, its once-bright floral character softens into a richer, honeyed profile, revealing warmth and complexity while maintaining the elegance white tea is known for. Smooth, approachable, and quietly refined, this is a tea that rewards slow, attentive drinking.

Flavor: Gentle notes of honey, dried apricot, and soft florals lead the cup, followed by hints of hay, warm grain, and light caramel sweetness. As it opens, subtle layers of dried herbs, toasted sugar, and a touch of wood emerge, with a lingering, mellow sweetness that stays on the palate.

Mood & Feeling: Calm, comforting, and nostalgic. This tea carries a soft, warming energy that feels restorative and easy. Perfect for unwinding or easing into a slower pace. It has a peaceful, almost reflective quality that settles both body and mind.

Steep Time: Use 4–6g per 100–120ml of water at 185–200°F. No rinse needed (optional quick rinse for aged cakes). Steep 15–25 seconds to start, increasing gradually with each infusion. Can also be brewed longer for a richer, more full-bodied cup.
