Description: White Peony (Pai Mu Tan or Bai Mu Dan) is a white tea grown in Fujian province China. This pure white tea is known for its pale yellow brew that has a clean taste with notes of melon, subtle fruit, and savory sweet butter.

White teas are minimally processed, the least oxidized, and most pure of all teas. To produce white teas, two leaves and a bud are plucked from premium tea plants. These freshly harvested leaves and bud are withered (dried) carefully in the sun. The result is a delicate pure tea with soft nuances.

Ingredients: organic white tea from China

Steep Directions: steep 1-2 heaping teaspoon of tea per 8 oz below boiling water, 175°F, for 3-5 minutes

Zoe N. ★★★★★

The melon note comes through beautifully, with a subtle sweetness that lingers. This white tea brews up delicate but has way more depth than I expected from the pale liquor.

Robert I. ★★★★★

The pale yellow brew is exactly as described, and that sweet butter note comes through beautifully on the finish. I’ve been steeping it lightly and getting a subtle melon sweetness that lingers without any bitterness. This is my new go-to for a calm afternoon cup.
