Bai Mu Dan offers a light, fresh, and gently sweet tea experience with a refined character that feels simple, elegant, and quietly special. This is a beautiful tea for customers who enjoy a lighter cup and appreciate the natural character of traditional loose leaf tea. A Delicate White Tea with a Pale Golden Cup White tea is often considered one of the least processed traditional tea types. The leaves are handled with care to preserve their delicate character, creating a cup that is softer and more subtle than many black or green teas. Bai Mu Dan is a rare treat for those who enjoy a tea that is light, smooth, and naturally refined. Its large leaves require a little extra care when measuring and steeping, but the result is worth the attention. Flavor Profile Light and delicate Fresh and gently sweet Pale yellow infusion Soft traditional tea character Smooth, clean finish Best enjoyed plain A refined choice for quiet tea moments Ingredients White tea. Available Sizes 30g — approximately 15–20 servings 60g — approximately 30–40 servings How to Prepare Use approximately 2 grams of tea per 8 ounces of water. Because this is a delicate large-leaf white tea, it may require up to 2 tablespoons to reach the suggested 2 grams. White tea should not be brewed with boiling water. Use hot water around 160°F to 185°F and steep for 2–4 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. For a stronger cup, use more tea rather than steeping much longer. This helps preserve the tea’s smooth, delicate flavor and reduces the chance of bitterness. Infusion Tip Loose leaf white tea tastes best when the leaves have room to fully open. Use a wide infuser, teapot strainer, or cup strainer rather than a small tea ball when possible. Some tea drinkers prefer to place the leaves directly in the pot and strain the tea when serving. If you use this method, pour out all remaining liquid after steeping so the tea does not over-steep. Storage Keep tea in an airtight container away from light and heat. For best freshness, enjoy within the first 6 months. See all our teas & herbals. Frequently Asked Questions Does White Tea contain caffeine?
