White Tea Leaf – Bai Mu Dan (Pai Mu Tan)

White Tea Leaf – Bai Mu Dan (also called Pai Mu Tan) is a loose white tea made from Camellia sinensis, typically valued for its light, delicate character and low caffeine content compared with many other teas. Bai Mu Dan is best known for its balanced profile of tender leaves and young tea buds, which gives the infusion a soft, mellow taste with gentle floral and fresh plant-like notes.

This white tea is commonly enjoyed as a simple hot or iced brew that highlights its natural aroma and subtle flavor. It is a good choice for tea drinkers who prefer a lighter cup with minimal bitterness. For best results, use water just below boiling and steep briefly to preserve the tea’s clean, delicate character.

How to Use

• Hot tea: Steep a small amount of loose tea in hot water just below boiling for a short infusion, then strain.
• Iced tea: Brew lightly, cool, and serve over ice for a refreshing, mild cup.
• Multiple infusions: Re-steep the leaves briefly to explore the tea’s changing flavor across infusions.
