Pai Mu Tan from Yumchaa

From the UK comes this bai mudan (White Peony), a white tea with a light body but a fuller flavour than other white teas. Yumchaa’s Pai Mu Tan is a refreshing tea with a surprisingly minty flavour, which gives the tea a sugary finish.

The leaf consistency leaves a little to be desired, with twigs and broken leaf pieces accompanying the powdery white tips and young leaves you would normally find in a bai mudan. But the drink itself is enjoyable enough, as notes of strawberry are met by the more savoury, vegetal characteristics common to bai mudan teas.
