Pai Mu Tan

This tea is a large leaved, especially fermented tea which is also known as white tea. The leaf tips are shimmering silvery-white and yield a very light infusion. The taste of this speciality is very mild and pleasantly aromatic.

Production process of white tea:

Plucking by hand, only the unopened buds are used.

Steaming and pre-withering in the open air.

Rolling via careful shaking of the baskets in order to break open the leaf ridges.

Drying below a basket holder with charcoal where the buds are slowly opening.

A lot of experience is needed to produce a soft, pleasantly fragrant white tea.
