| White tea does not refer to black tea with milk.Like Green tea, White tea is also an unfermented tea, however the leaves are rapidly fired and dried resulting in perhaps a purer, more "natural" state White tea contains a higher proportion of buds, which are covered with fine 'silvery' hairs that impart a light white/grey color to the tea. White tea brews to a pale yellow/light red color, and has a slightly sweet flavor with no "grassy" undertones sometimes associated with green tea. White Peony is also known as "Bai Mu Dan". The White Peony is made from the buds and leaves that remain after the famous Silver Needle has been harvested. Its sweet and mild, yet very full-bodied. The cup color is darker and the aroma bolder, the natural sweetness clearly identifies the close relationship to the Silver Needle. |
