From New Mexico Tea Company

Clear slightly pale cup with a fresh aroma and a smooth velvety flavor. Delicate jammy notes reminiscent of Keemun or a mild Bordeaux.

Extra Info:

Bai mu dan, also called Pai Mu Tan, is the second highest grade of white tea under silver needle. Only the top ‘two leaves and a bud’ are picked. These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white color and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down. The leaves are not steamed or pan-fired, like green tea, but naturally withered and dried in the sun. If mechanical drying is used it is a baking process at temperatures less then 100˚F.

Dry leaf appears larger than most white teas I’ve had before. Lots of green and brown on the leaves and I don’t see much of the white hair that is normally found on whites.

Taste starts out sweet and grassy. After a few steeps an herbal taste starts to come out, maybe like peppermint, but the grassiness is still dominant. It is a somewhat interesting flavor, but I think the grassiness is too dominant for me to really like it.

Flavors: Grass, Sweet

I will update this once I try more whites. So far, this seemed very bland and maybe average at best.

First infusion (185, 3 mins): Bland, very very light hint of honey. Feels very creamy smooth in the mouth.

Second infusion (185, 3:30 mins): Even more bland, hint of honey was gone.

Flavors: Creamy, Honey
