A pure white China tea - also known as Bai Mudan. Entirely hand-crafted from tender spring buds and fresh new leaves.

Like White Silver Tip Tea which comprises just the spring buds, this tea also contains the first delicate leaves. The combination of tender buds and the freshest new leaves, plucked just as they open to the sun, creates a delicate silky tea with a greener depth.

Cost per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 2 infusions.

Wonderfully delicate

This is a truly fine white tea. A wonderfully delicate flavour, but certainly not bland if given time to infuse. It’s now added to Silver Tip Jasmine as my favourite white teas.

Subtle and beautiful flavour

I've not had a white tea like this before. It's a bit like subtle peachy fruits and because it's a white tea its super calming. Really enjoyed this one

This subtle tea has a gentle sweetness with grassy notes and a delicate hint of apricot.

Quantity

Temperature

For the optimum infusion use  70°C (158°F) water.

Time

Infuse for 1 - 2 minutes, tasting regularly.

Infusions

You can infuse this tea at least twice. With each careful infusion, different subtleties of flavour are revealed.’

dried in the sun

Gently processed by hand

Quite unlike a black tea, which has been oxidised to bring out the stronger, more tannic flavours, white tea is just dried in the sunshine. It is the least processed of all teas.

Undergoing such limited processing means White Peony retains higher levels of antioxidants than other teas. It brews to a pale golden cup.
