2023 Wild Bai Mu Dan
2023 Wild Bai Mu Dan
Crafted By the Wu Family
The Wu Family is committed to biodiversity and stewardship on their pristine high elevation plot, picking rare old-growth wild-arbor tea bushes.
Mr. Wu practices zero-intervention finishing in the workshop, allowing their precious white tea to air dry without heat exposure for a crisp, sweet, and deeply-nuanced brew.

The Wu Family's oldest prized tea bushes growing among wild trees, flowers and bamboo are picked once in the extreme early spring for a bud-only harvest, and then allowed to build up nutrients until they are picked a second time when delicate leaves begin to unfurl. This second harvest of buds and leaves is what makes their fine Bai Mudan- full of the complexity that later season sunlight brings but the sweetness and texture of the early cold-weather buds.
