Not all white teas can be called Bai Mudan. This tea is picked and stored in the same year, making it the top choice among pre-Qingming teas. As the name suggests, Bai Mudan 2024 comes from tea gardens nestled in the wilderness. Only those naturally ecological tea gardens can produce such high-quality tea worthy of the No.1 title.
Panxi Town is the home-town of Bai Mudan 2024. The unique tea garden environment here makes Panxi one of the rare places in Fuding that can produce extreme-quality white tea. The combination of Panxi's soil and the wilderness ecology has created this deep mountain haven. With tea gardens interspersed among lakes, the tea trees are imbued with a pure mountain flavour, contributing to the exceptional quality of Panxi white tea.
To ensure the superior quality of Bai Mudan 2024 tea, we are particularly meticulous during the picking process, strictly controlling the picking grade and timing, which is very brief. This Bai Mudan tea is crafted from high-standard fresh leaves with one bud and one leaf, resulting in a tea that is visually dominated by buds. Its quality far exceeds the national standard for top-grade Bai Mudan, making it a stand-out among Fuding white teas.
The picked tea leaves are handled with utmost care. We have sought out local tea farmers with generations of tea-making traditions, employing ancient tea-making techniques that incorporate the unique terror of each region. Through manual tea processing, we present this gift from nature to every tea lover.
Observe the dry tea : the buds are plump and form flowers, with white hairs visible. The proportion of buds is very high, and each bud is particularly full and fat, resembling flowers wrapped in tea leaves, with abundant tea hairs on both buds and leaves.
Inhale the aroma: floral and fresh scents blend together, rich and soaring, especially the subtle fragrance unique to high-altitude Panxi tea gardens, which is truly captivating.
Taste the tea : it's sweet and refreshing, with a sweetness that's not cloying but crisp and clean. After drinking, a pleasant after-taste lingers in the mouth.
Examine the leaf bottom : the leaves are tender, with a high proportion of buds. Although picked at the Peony grade, the bud proportion is extremely high, and the entire bud and leaf feel very soft to the touch.
