White Tea - Anti Ageing
This exquisite loose leaf tea from China, captivates an aromatic & refreshing light tea taste.
White Peony tea was originally produced by local tea farmers in the town of Shuiji in Fujian in the 1870s from the local large leafed tea trees. The popularity of Bai Mu Dan or Pai Mu Tan increased in the 1920s when production started in the nearby Zhenghe county, which soon became the main production area in China.
White Peony tea is usually picked early in the springtime, with one two-leafed bud being picked which is called “SanBai” which means the bud and the two leaves are covered with white hair. Pai Mu Tan is not produced by being fried, but instead by the process of withering, including withering 'out of the house' and withering 'in the house', and two drying processes. The effort it takes to create Bai Mu Dan is difficult and only the most experienced tea farmers and tea companies can produce the highest grades of White Peony white tea.
White tea has a delicate fresh flavor, containing less caffeine and greater anti-oxidants that all other teas.
