Bai Mu Dan King
"Royal White Peony" - a great class of white tea.
The colour of the infusion is yellowish-amber, the aroma is floral and delicate, reminiscent of the scent of peony. The taste is smooth as silk and at the same time full and round. Aftertaste is very long, pleasantly sweet.
This year, thanks to a slightly different processing, which is growing in popularity, we can find a note known from aged white teas in the taste.
Gunpowder
Gunpowder in the West, Zhu Cha (pearl tea) in China. It is an important export item, although it is not very popular in China itself. It is popular in the West due to its shape - the leaves are wrapped in small granules, which makes more tea reminiscent of gunpowder. Thanks to this, this tea is resistant to aging and absorption of odors (it is better transported). The infusion is yellow-green in color, tastes very strong and quite bitter, but contains a lot of healthy nutrients as well as other green teas, including tea polyphenols, zinc, flavonoids and fluoride. It is interesting in combination with mint and a lot of sugar - a drink known as "Le Tuareg".
