Details
Cultivar
Come per gli altri bianchi del Fujian, le basi sono Fuding Da Bai / Da Hao e Zhenghe Da Bai, oltre a popolazioni locali di arbusti.
Picking
spring, by hand. Too coarse leaves make the tea heavy and grassy; too many buds bring the style closer to Yin Zhen.
Cultural Significance
in many tea schools, Bái Mǔdān (白牡丹) is recommended as the first "serious white tea" — it forgives brewing errors and shows the character of the region.
History
Bái Mǔdān (白牡丹) developed as a category of white tea (白茶) that makes the white style more accessible: it is simpler to produce and gives stable results in the cup.
