CompositionThe imperial Bai Mu Dan harvest

Pai Mu Tan is distinguished by a selective spring harvest. It gathers the terminal bud, still fuzzy, and the following two leaves.

Minimal processing

It is the least processed tea in the world. The leaves are simply withered in the sun then air-dried. This absence of frying or steaming gently stops oxidation, preserving the molecular integrity of the plant.

Cup profile

The liquor is a bright straw yellow. The mouthfeel is silky, with persistent notes of white flowers and a slightly sweet finish reminiscent of fresh hay and honey.

ExpertiseMy Fujian selection

I sourced this tea from the Fuding region, historically recognized as the cradle of white teas. The mountainous and humid climate favors slow growth of the tea plants, concentrating catechins and amino acids.

TipsMy extraction protocol

Reference preparation

I recommend heating the water between 80°C and 85°C. Use 2.5 grams of leaves for 250 ml of water. Let infuse for 4 to 6 minutes. White tea leaves are bulky: a heaping tablespoon generally corresponds to the right dosage.

Variations

  • Iced version: Place 10 grams of leaves in one liter of room temperature water, then let steep in the refrigerator for 8 hours. You will get a floral nectar of absolute purity.
  • Multiple infusions: This grade easily supports 2 to 3 successive brews, slightly increasing the infusion time each time.
💡 The art of sharing: White tea is the ultimate hospitality drink in China. Share this delicate liquor with your loved ones to introduce them to the most soothing side of the tea plant.
