White Peony (Bai Mu Dan)

Customer Reviews

Definitely one of the very best Bai Mu Dan teas I’ve yet to taste Review by Sororitea Sisters

Rating

"The tea these beautiful, whole leaves produces is exquisite! Definitely one of the very best Bai Mu Dan teas I’ve yet to taste. It is surprisingly rich and flavorful. Many White Peony/Bai Mu Dan teas that I’ve tried in the past tend to be somewhat pale in flavor – delicate – but, this is not a typical Bai Mu Dan!"

Delicious Review by Trish

Hi - I'm new to china teas. Having been advised to stay off caffeine by a doctor, I went from drinking assam leaf tea to tasteless decaf tea bags. At least it came in a cup and looked similar! However, I came across white peony tea on a menu when I was out for a meal and tried it. It's delicious. Light, refreshing and slightly sweet and incredibly calming and comforting. I feel no caffeine kick from it and I use the leaves for all my cups of tea during the day by re-infusing them. I'm completely converted.
I would highly recommend both this tea and Canton teas - their customer service is great.
Thank you for helping enjoy tea drinking again! (Posted on 8/26/11)

Another fine Canton tea! Review by Amy in Southern California

I continue to be impressed by the Canton Tea Company teas. As a category, white teas are not my first choice. I have found most white teas to be either too musty or too bland for my taste.

I ordered quite a few sample packets from Canton Tea Company to try. I saved this white tea for last because I was pretty sure that it would be just another white tea. Well, I was quite surprised by this White Peony Bai Mu Dan. It is sweet and mellow, without being musty. It is much more interesting than most other whites I have tasted because it has a number of flavor notes which change with the cooling of the tea. It also has a nice lingering sweetness that I have not experienced with other white teas.

Next, I look forward to sampling the Canton Tea Ye Sheng Wild White Tea, but I highly recommend this White Peony tea to anyone wishing to explore the different kinds of teas.Be sure to brew this tea at a lower temperature than most other teas: recommended by Canton Tea at 75C/167F for 2-3 minutes.

Devastating Flavor Review by Z

Rating

Canton Tea Company's white peony tea is unbelievably good. It is a extremely robust and flavorful tea, the likes of which you would not readily expect . The flavor is extremely floral, as you can actually taste the bouquet throughout the sip. It ends with an extremely sweet aftertaste that is ridiculously pleasant . When left to cool , the tea actually acquires a much more mellow and sweet flavor as it begins to lose warmth. Paired with your favorite sweetener it makes a satisfying and completely different iced tea experience. Whether you enjoy white peony hot or cold it will more then reward you with cup after cup of awesomeness. From a 10 g sample I was able to extract two full pitchers worth of iced tea, and this lovely tea even even held up to three full infusions before waning. Adamantly recommended.

An explosion of flavour Review by Lainie P at Lainiesips.com

Rating

"On the palate, the tea is an explosion of flavor: The sweetness remains, along with the sage/green bell pepper notes, with a surprising apricot finish. This is one white tea that actually gets better with multiple infusions, with the fruit notes becoming more prominent."

Cheaper means great value not less taste Review by Sarah

I have always been one of those people that thinks if it costs more it means it's better, after all, you get what you pay for don't you? So when it comes to buying white tea I have always bought Fuding Bai Hao Yin Zhen, which is beautiful. Well, I thought I'd give this one a try, after all, I was curious to see why it had won an award. I am so glad that I did. It has a beautiful clear colour and a sweet taste. I love to brew this tea pour it and just hold the liquor in my mouth for a few seconds to fully taste all the components that make up the flavour of this beautiful tea. (Posted on 7/16/10)
