Origin

Tea growers in Fujian, China, harvest Pai Mu Tan during early spring. They handpick the young leaves and unopened buds, then gently wither and sun-dry them to preserve the tea’s floral aroma and clean character.

The name “white peony” reflects the shape and colour of the dried leaves and their blossom-like flavour.
