White Peony (Bai Mu Dan in Chinese) is one of the few white leave teas. Without many artificial processes, white tea is only withered and dried from fresh leaves, which makes it the most natural tea.
Mouya's White Peony grows in old tea mountains in Zhenghe County and picked in Spring. You can see the buds are covered by white hair which is a typical standard of fine and fresh white tea. Compare to the White Peony from 2010 which was harvested during bad weather, White Peony 2011 is stronger with fatter buds.

White Tea Introduction:
According to the standards of picking and selection, white teas can be classified into white bud teas and white leave teas. They are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully, when there are still some fine white hairs. That’s why they are called white tea, not because the tea leaves are white, but are covered with white hair.
White tea is scarcer than other traditional teas, and now more and more people drink white tea for health. There is considerably less caffeine in white tea and some studies have also shown that white tea contains more active cancer-fighting antioxidants than other teas. The flavor of white tea is very mild with light vegetal sweet.
