Bai Mu Dan Fuding 2019 Cake

Bai Mu Dan – White Peony White Tea

White Tea Bai Mu Dan (Pai Mu Dan) Cake – Fuding, 2019

What is Bai Mu Dan (White Peony Tea)

Bai Mu Dan (白牡丹), also known as "White Peony" or Pai Mu Tan, is one of the most appreciated white teas in Chinese tradition. This precious 100g cake comes from the renowned area of Fuding, in the village of Xianpu, where the leaves were harvested in April 2019. The cultivar used is the prestigious Fuding Da Bai, a guarantee of superior quality and unique organoleptic characteristics.

Characteristics of our Bai Mu Dan tea

This Bai Mu Dan white tea stands out for its unique pressed cake form, a technique traditionally reserved for Pu Erh that allows for controlled evolution over time. The leaves, consisting of the characteristic silvery bud and the first apical leaves, retain their properties thanks to the minimal processing typical of white teas. The 100g cake pressing not only facilitates storage but also allows for a fascinating aging process that progressively enriches the aromatic profile.

Tasting notes and aromatic profile

When consumed fresh, our Bai Mu Dan white tea reveals a delicate and delightful taste, with balanced notes between floral and sweet, typical of the best white teas from Fuding. With aging, this Bai Mudan develops increasingly complex and sweet nuances, evolving towards hints of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, honey, and hazelnut. Each infusion releases an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of white peony petals, from which this precious tea takes its name.

How to prepare Bai Mu Dan white tea

To best appreciate this Bai Mu Dan, we recommend gently breaking the cake with a knife or pick, obtaining portions of 3-4 grams per infusion. Use water at 75-80°C to preserve the delicate floral notes and natural sweetness of the tea. The high-quality leaves can be infused multiple times, revealing new aromatic nuances with each pass. For the oriental method, you can use 6g in a gaiwan with short and repeated infusions.

Pai Mu Dan: origin and terroir of Fuding

The Fujian province, and particularly the Fuding area, is universally recognized as the cradle of white tea. Our Bai Mudan specifically comes from the village of Xianpu, where ideal climatic conditions and unique terroir impart distinctive characteristics to the tea. The Fuding Da Bai cultivar, with its buds rich in silvery down, represents excellence in the production of fine white teas.

Storage and aging

This 2019 Bai Mu Dan white tea cake can be consumed immediately or stored for aging. As with Pu Erh, time transforms and enriches the flavor profile, making each tasting a unique experience. Store the cake in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, preferably wrapped in its original paper or in breathable ceramic containers.
