# Notes Gongfu -- Somewhat astringent, slightly sweet. A little wine-y although I couldn't exactly say how. A very mild, or indeed perhaps bland, tea, which is interesting given how strong the liquor color is. # Vendor Copy > _flavor notes_ almond, dried apricot, mellow > Our Bai Mu Dan comes from Fuding County, Fujian Province. Its two leaf and a bud combination comes from the Da Bai tea tree, picked in mid-April after the individual tea buds that make up Silver Needle have been gathered. > > Once picked, the leaves undergo a gradual "fade", during which time, the leaves are slightly enzymatically oxidized before they are given a final low temperature bake. This classic white tea crafting method enhances the sweetness and mouth feel of this tea, while preserving the natural character of the tea leaves. > > Bai Mu Dan brews a light golden infusion with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of dried apricot and almonds.
