    Yunnan White Peony (Bai Mu Dan): Flavor, Processing & Brewing

    What is Bai Mu Dan (White Tea)?

    Bai Mu Dan (白牡丹, bái mǔ dān) also known as White Peony, is a unique type of white tea made from a combination of one bud and one leaf, creating a distinct layered leaf grade. Yunnan white tea, specifically Bai Mu Dan, is renowned for its broader leaves compared to Silver Needle and its beautiful apricot-yellow and golden liquor.

    Yunnan Bai Mu Dan Tea Variety – Chang Ye Bai Hao
    Delve into the unique variety of Yunnan Bai Mu Dan known as "Chang Ye Bai Hao (长叶白毫, cháng yè bái háo)," a hybrid tea tree variety from Jinggu tea trees crossed with Assam tea. This variety imparts exceptional flavor and distinctive aroma to Yunnan Bai Mu Dan, a detail often overlooked by many vendors.

    Why Choose Chang Ye Bai Hao?

    • Distinctive Flavor: Imparts a unique taste to the tea. Rich floral and honey aroma. Smooth and sweet with no bitterness, even after long steeping. Plump buds covered in dense white fuzz. Bright, clear liquor with a refreshing, lingering aftertaste.
