Pai Mu Tan – Traditional White Tea from China

Pai Mu Tan translates to “White Peony” and is one of China’s best-known white teas. Young tea buds and tender leaves are used in its production. Unlike many other types of tea, the leaves undergo only a few processing steps. After harvesting, they are gently withered and dried.

This traditional production method largely preserves the original character of the tea leaves. Pai Mu Tan develops a mild, slightly floral aroma with a delicate natural sweetness. Its smooth flavour and light infusion make this white tea a particularly enjoyable experience.

How to Prepare and Enjoy Pai Mu Tan White Tea
