Pai Mu Tan White Peony – Classic Flowery Fujian White TeaOur fine Pai Mu Tan White Peony is a classic Chinese white tea, naturally grown and produced in Fujian Province. White Peony is made from the buds and young leaves that remain after the first-flush Silver Needle harvest. While it's slightly darker and bolder in aroma than Silver Needle, its pleasant sweetness clearly shows the family resemblance. Pai Mu Tan is still plucked by hand in the traditional manner, at a ratio of two leaves to every bud, following strict quality and tasting standards introduced during the Ming Dynasty. Processing is kept to a minimum: the leaves and buds are withered and dried almost immediately after picking, preserving their delicate, natural character. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItPai Mu Tan offers a fuller body than Silver Needle while remaining delicate and smooth — a perfect everyday white tea. It's minimally processed and gentle in caffeine, making it a lovely choice any time of day.
How to EnjoyBrew it in a gaiwan or teapot and enjoy several gentle infusions. It's lovely plain, pairs beautifully with fruit and light snacks, and makes a delicate, refreshing iced tea in summer. Fine, flowery and beautifully gentle, Pai Mu Tan White Peony is a timeless white tea classic. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
