Chinese white tea Bai Mudan, named after the peony for its floral notes, delights with its gentle yet complex taste. Adding bergamot oil imparts a refreshing citrus note, creating a unique and mild white tea version of the well-known Earl Grey.
Bai Mudan is crafted from the young leaves and silvery buds of the tea plant. Typically, white tea is only withered and dried after harvesting, a minimal processing method that preserves the delicate aromas of the leaves. For our WHITE EARL, this special whole-leaf tea is blended with cold-pressed bergamot oil from Italy.
Bai Mudan is a popular and esteemed variety of white tea, traditionally originating from one of China's oldest and most renowned tea-growing regions. Fujian is celebrated for its high-quality and diverse teas, including some of China's most famous varieties. The region's numerous sunny days and frequent morning mists in the mountainous areas create ideal conditions for the growth of the delicate tea buds and leaves.
