In the refined world of exceptional teas, white tea Pai Mu Tan stands out for its delicacy and unique character. Unlike black tea or earl grey, this precious nectar, from the Fujian province, represents the quintessence of Chinese traditional beverage. Its millennial history and artisanal production make it one of the most sought-after teas by authentic flavor enthusiasts.

What is Pai Mu Tan?

Organic white tea Pai Mu Tan, also known as bai mu dan or white peony is exclusively grown in the mountainous region of Fujian. It is harvested only in spring, when the buds are covered with a delicate silver down, testifying to their youth and exceptional quality.

This excellent Chinese white tea is characterized by its terminal bud and two adjacent leaves, hand-picked according to ancestral tradition. The tea harvest is done manually with extreme precision, usually at first dawn, when the leaves are still covered with dew.

Certified and Responsible Production

Our organic pai mu tan comes from a certified organic farming cooperative that perpetuates ancestral cultivation methods. The unique climate of the Fujian province, characterized by its morning mists and varied altitudes, gives this tea its exceptional organoleptic properties.

The transformation process begins right after harvest. The freshly picked leaves are delicately transported to withering areas where they are exposed to open air. This crucial step is carried out with the utmost care, allowing the leaves to develop their characteristic aromas.

The Art of Drying

The tea's origin and processing define its final quality. After natural withering, the leaves undergo gentle drying that preserves their structure and properties. Unlike green tea which is heated quickly, Pai Mu Tan benefits from slow drying that gives it its delicate notes.

Tasting Characteristics

When brewed, this superior white tea reveals a liquor with a pale green color that evolves into golden tones. The emerging floral notes create a subtle apricot infusion. Its fresh and floral profile makes it a particularly appreciated rare tea among connoisseurs.

Tasting reveals a complex aromatic bouquet where notes of honey, white peach, and a subtle vegetal touch mingle. The resulting light apricot infusion offers a unique tasting experience, marked by natural sweetness and absence of astringency.

How to brew Pai Mu Tan?

For optimal tasting, bai mu dan should be brewed in water at 70-80°C. Let steep for a 2-minute infusion to release all its aromas. Note that its low theine content allows you to enjoy it throughout the day, from breakfast to evening.

Temperature: 70-80°C (water that's too hot would burn the delicate leaves)
Dosage: 12-15g per 100cl of water
Steeping time: 2 minutes
