The pleasant aroma and taste of pomegranate is infused into this high quality white tea. If you want a strong pomegranate taste, drink the first infusion. However, if your looking for a lighter flavor then pour off the first infusion, and re-steep for the full time.
Bai mu dan, also called Pai Mu Tan, is the second highest grade of white tea under silver needle. These leaves are from a special kind of tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. 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.
