2025 Sky Blue Sky 100g Bai Mudan cake

What a fabulous journey through the session. It moves from toasted rice and grass notes to a mouthful of cantaloupe juice by the 4th steep. I was underwhelmed at first but then it made such a magical transition.

This tea cake is wonderful with quite a lot of silver needle-ish buds and the leaves themselves are a lively shade of green. The tea soup is light, tasty, and floral! I have only had baimudan as a loose leaf so having it as a cake is such an experience. I will be buying this again in the future, once I finish this one!!

Loved this so much I got a second cake just to age it! Accurate description on tasting notes, and because it is a "greener" white tea, be sure to lower the temp! (brewed it gongfu style) Wonderful for lighter mornings because of the bud content boosting the caffeine in this.
