The aromatic profile of our exotic white tea
It opens with the floral, silky character that is the hallmark of Pai Mu Tan. This white tea, made from young buds and lightly oxidized leaves, brings a velvety softness and a delicate structure that acts as a perfect setting for the fruit.
Next comes the fresh, vegetal quality of the Sencha, adding a light herbal brightness. This pairing balances the blend's roundness and gives it dimension, without ever overshadowing the finesse of the white tea.
At the heart of the infusion, pieces of mango, papaya, pineapple and apricot release a warm, almost candied sweetness. Orange peel and lime essential oil add a zesty lift that brightens the palate. Natural aromas of orange, mango and passion fruit deepen the tropical dimension without tipping into sweetness.
On the finish, marigold petals illuminate the cup with their golden hues, leaving a light, lingering floral note. The result is an airy, fruity drink, perfectly balanced between sweetness and freshness. For an equally delicate alternative, discover our Kunming white tea.
How to brew our exotic white tea
White tea calls for soft, gently tempered water to reveal its full finesse. Our guide on how to brew white tea walks you through the ideal approach for our exotic blend: water that is too hot will bruise the buds and harden the fruit notes.
Our recommended brew:
- Quantity: 12 to 15 g of loose-leaf tea per liter of water, roughly 2 heaped teaspoons for a 500 ml teapot.
- Temperature: 70 to 80°C, never boiling.
- Steeping time: 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the strength you prefer.
- Water: filtered or low-mineral, to preserve the delicate aroma.
Pour the gently steaming water over the leaves and fruit pieces, let them steep, then remove the leaves to avoid any bitterness. The liquor is pale and golden, almost amber, and immediately fills the room with tropical fragrance.
Iced version: double the quantity (25 g/L), steep for 5 minutes hot, then pour over ice. The result is a homemade fruity iced tea that is refreshing and thirst-quenching, perfect for summer. This exotic infusion can be enjoyed at any time of day, as often as you like.
Storage
To keep the fruit flavors fresh and the leaves at their finest, store your exotic white tea in its original airtight tin, away from light, moisture and strong odors. A dry cupboard at room temperature is ideal. For the best aromatic experience, enjoy it within 18 months of opening.
