Organic Pai Mu Tan loose leaf White Tea Available in 40g pouches & tins

Premium Organic Pai Mu Tan Loose Leaf White Tea in 40g Pouches & Tins

When brewed, this Organic Pai Mu Tan loose leaf White Tea releases delicate silvery-white buds that unfurl into pale jade leaves, producing a liquor with subtle floral sweetness and a clean, refreshing finish. The tea consists of carefully hand-picked young leaves and unopened buds harvested during early spring in Fujian province, minimally processed through natural withering and air-drying to preserve its characteristic flavor profile. In practice, users find that steeping 2-3 grams per 200ml of water at 75-80°C for 3-4 minutes yields optimal extraction without bitterness. The 40g format provides approximately 15-20 servings depending on brewing strength preferences, while the tin option ensures superior protection against light and moisture degradation.

Certified Organic White Peony Tea from Traditional Chinese Origins

This certified organic Bai Mudan tea adheres to strict organic cultivation standards, grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers in accordance with international organic certification requirements. White peony tea ranks as the second-highest grade among Chinese white tea varieties, positioned between the premium Silver Needle and lower-grade Shou Mei, distinguished by its inclusion of both silver-tipped buds and young leaves. The traditional production method involves minimal oxidation—typically 5-10%—making it one of the least processed tea varieties available and preserving its natural polyphenol content. Fujian province has produced white tea for over 200 years, with Pai Mu Tan representing a refined balance of delicate flavor complexity and antioxidant preservation that professional tea tasters recognize as characteristic of authentic white peony varieties.
