Bai Mudan, or "White Peony" tea from the Wu Family represents their most balanced expression of the wild mountain terroir, with both flavorful leaves and tender downy buds for a tea that shows off whiet tea’s iconic sweet smooth texture and a deep wild forest quality. The Wu Family finishes these leaves under a special shaded air circulation process developed by Mr. Wu to lock in the freshest most aromatic flavors possible. This year, they pressed a Dragon Pearl individual steeping size Bai Mudan to protect the leaves even better in transit. Each 25g bag includes four dragon pearls.
