Taste the tea that smells of honey and flowers.
Pai Mu Tan, known by the poetic name "White Peony," is one of the most valuable white teas in China. Its home is the Fujian province, specifically the areas of Fuding and Zhenghe, where the tradition of growing white tea has been passed down for centuries. Thanks to the mild climate, misty mountains, and pure soil, ideal conditions are created for the production of tea of extraordinary quality.
The harvest takes place exclusively in spring, when the delicate bud and the two youngest leaves are hand-picked. These are then briefly withered to lose their natural moisture, and subsequently dried in the sun. This process, without any rolling or fermentation, preserves the natural antioxidants, vitamins, and delicate aroma in the leaves.
The dry leaves of Pai Mu Tan appear elegant – large, green-brown flakes combined with silvery-haired buds create a colorful mosaic. When steeped, it produces a light, golden infusion with a delicate, refreshing taste. It reveals tones of meadow flowers, honey, and dried fruits, which harmoniously intertwine with a light sweetness.
Pai Mu Tan is a tea that symbolizes the purity and simplicity of tea artistry. Due to its balance between delicacy and fullness, it is suitable for both beginners who are just discovering the world of white tea and experienced enthusiasts who will appreciate its depth and long, sweetly lingering aftertaste.
