This Bai Mu Dan is enjoyable, but nothing special. I’ve had better ones at this price point. The most memorable aspect of it is probably its fragrance. It is floral and grassy as one would expect, but it is interesting. I could smell some rapeseed and green apple ice cream among other less prevalent aromas and a generic meadow-like feeling. The taste is somewhat metallic (brass?), savoury (grass and vegetables like pattypan squash) and has a medicinal/herbal notes too. It also has a tart finish that evolves into a biting and sweet aftertaste with pear flavour. Mouthfeel is very smooth and delicate with a watery texture and a medium to full body.

I have the 2017. Nothing too special like you said. Bought 250g of purple moonlight white to age. I know Fuding white teas are more famous, but I should probably focus more on Yunnan whites as I expect them to appeal to me more.
