China Pai Mu Tan brings an exquisite, delicate presence to any high-street café or hotel lounge looking to offer a premium white tea. Known also as Bai Mu Dan, this gently withered tea offers a clean, dependable classic that appeals to guests seeking a subtle, refined brew.
Sourced from prime, high-altitude gardens 2000 to 4000 feet above sea level in Fujian Province, China, the top two leaves and bud display a grey-white downy finish. It infuses into a pale yellow-green cup delivering a velvety, smooth flavour layered with delicate jammy notes that require no sweetening.
Containing a low caffeine level of approximately 10mg per cup, it offers a gentle refreshment suitable for light, all-day enjoyment. Serve hot in a glass teapot to appreciate the expanding white peony leaves, or brew at double-strength and pour over ice for a floral, refreshing summer iced tea.

    A wonderful tea with a refreshing aroma, perfect for evening drinking. The flavor is delicate, yet incredibly tasty and high-quality. Probably the best white tea I've ever tasted.

    Heavenly China Pai Mu Tan

    Posted by Mary Cooper on Mar 23, 2024

    Absolutely delighted with the quality of this tea. Since losing my previous supplier of this type of white tea, I had only been able to buy silver needle white tea, which I don t like as much. My first cup of your China Pai Mu Tan was so enjoyable and made me realise just how much I had missed this tea type. I will definitely buy again and I am looking forward to trying other teas, which I bought at the same time, but have not yet opened. Easy to order online and delivered very quickly, excellent and personal service from Anita. Thank you.
