Origins
A tea once reserved for the delicate palate of the emperor can now be enjoyed by everyone. We brought you Pai Mu Tan from China's southeast. Fujian province is famous for its tea gardens. High altitude, humidity and specific soil conditions give room for many tea varieties. Pai Mu Tan, or White Peony, is characterized by its high bud percentage and regular, unbroken leaves. It is most commonly produced from the Chinese tea tree cultivars Fuding Da Bai or Zhenge Da Bai. Harvesting usually begins in mid-March and lasts for 3-4 weeks. The leaves are carefully collected by hand.
The process involves two steps – first, the tea leaves are wilted, then they are dried. They are not processed in high temperatures. The white tea is very delicate due to the fact that it is dried for a long time and at low temperatures.
According to the legend, Pai Mu Tan was entirely reserved for the imperial court. In history, this drink dates back to 960-1279, when the Sung Dynasty ruled China. White tea was served exclusively for rare visitors. However, since then, its production has expanded and popularity has risen. It can be enjoyed not only in China, where it is in great demand, but also in Europe and America. Pai is translated as white, Mu Tan as peony. Depending on the romanization stye, it is also sold under the name Bai Mu Dan.
