Also known as: Bai Mu Dan Tea, White Peony Tea, Camellia sinensis White Tea, Pai Mu Tan White Tea
Description: White Tea (Pai Mu Tan) is a loose-leaf tea made from the carefully harvested young leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis, cultivated in the Fujian province of China. The tea has one ingredient only: white tea leaves. There are no blends, no added flavors, and no additional components, just clearly identified leaves prepared for a delicate and consistent infusion.
Imagine soft, silvery-green leaves with fuzzy buds resting gently in a jar. As hot water is poured over them, a subtle, floral aroma rises with hints of honeyed sweetness and fresh green notes. The brewed tea develops a pale golden color with a light, smooth flavor that feels gentle, nuanced, and refined. Each step, from pouring to sipping, unfolds like a serene, visually calming reel.
The leaves are carefully harvested, cleaned, and gently dried with minimal processing to preserve their natural shape, aroma, and delicate flavor. This precised handling allows for a smooth, even infusion while keeping the tea easy to measure, steep, and strain.
Uses: Brewing White Tea (Pai Mu Tan) is effortless. Add one teaspoon of leaves to a cup of hot water at approximately 75–85°C (167–185°F) and steep for 3 to 5 minutes, then strain it. For a lighter taste, reduce the steeping time; for a slightly stronger infusion, steep a minute longer. To make iced tea, brew as usual, allow the infusion to cool, and pour over ice for a refreshing, subtle herbal drink. The tea can be enjoyed on its own or combined with mild additions such as a thin slice of citrus or a few fresh mint leaves to enhance aroma while keeping the flavor light and balanced.
The clarity and simplicity are what sets this White Tea (Pai Mu Tan) apart. It has single botanical ingredient, with minimal handling and clear preparation steps. Every cup feels consistent, approachable, and easy to brew, creating confidence from the first scoop to the final pour. The tea fits naturally into slow mornings, quiet afternoons, and intentional daily routines. From the subtle floral aroma to the soft, golden finish, White Tea (Pai Mu Tan) offers a refined, uncomplicated experience that feels thoughtful and visually soothing.
Storage: In a cool, dry space, sealed against the elements as much as possible.
