Details One of spring’svisual and taste delights has been “rested” or aged. In the intervening period, the tea has developed a deeper, rounder taste and a darker appearance more to the traditional style Bai Mu Dan. Now, 9 years aged, tea is showing darker shades of green, brown leaves and silvery buds. Lot is made toEUStandards(comparable to USDA organic standards). Lot# EU-5. Lot Notes. We purchased this lot in 2015 and stored in our warehouse. Teawas grown in the mountains of Fuding County, in Fujian Province.With aging, oxidization has changed the once bright-green leaves to a more brown-side coloration. Oxidizing the leaves has yielded deeper, richer Bai Mu Dan flavors. As well, this lot has a high percentage of silver buds which contribute a honey-like sweetness to the cup. Tea Facts. Tea is made from the Fuding Da Hao cultivar. Grown at an elevation of approximately 800 meters. Perhaps the most natural of teas, the leaves are plucked, withered and machine air dried.
