Another backlog…
So I replaced this in my cupboard, only 10g since it’s so expensive… and am I ever glad I purchased such a small amount! this batch is terrible!!! there were twigs in it, and the leaves were so dried out that they crunched when scooped up for the brewing basket. Flavour wise, none of the delicacy came out until it had cooled. It was still a decent cuppa but nowhere near the tea I once raved about. It makes me sad, this used to be my comfort. Taking it down a bunch of notches hurts…

Bai mu dan, Pai mu dan/tan, white peony is often the same thing. It is a modern grab bag of leaf, stem, and bud and a cheep way to meet the demands of the white tea market. It is usually stronger in color, flavor, and has a spicyness that makes is a great cold brew and good to blend and flavor (and its cheap). If you were over charged, consider looking into other companies as it shouldnt be more than $30/# and a pound of this is huge by volume.
really?? wow.
I just remember the first time I bought it, the brews were SO amazing… that it made the price tag worth it. this time, not so much. ick!
I’ll look for it elsewhere now!!
