Pai Mu Tan (also known as White Peony) is a delicate, minimally processed white tea made from young tea leaves and buds, traditionally grown in China. Lightly oxidized and gently dried, it preserves the tea’s natural character, resulting in a clean, smooth, and subtly sweet cup with gentle complexity.
