Product Description
Pai Mu Tan is what is known as a white tea. White tea is the least processed of all types of tea, and therefore contains the least amount of natural caffeine, and the most health benefits. Pai Mu Tan has a delicate flowery taste to it, and steeps quite a light colour.White Tea is the rarest and most delicate of tea. Plucked forty-eight hours or less between the time the first buds become fully mature and the time they open. This tea, offered here, is characteristically an exceptional down covered silver colored bud, yielding a light yellow liquor. These tender buds are steamed and not dried as in black or green teas. The photo here says it all!More and more cosmetic & pharmaceutical companies are useing white tea for skin care and cancer prevention!White tea, originally produced in China's Fujian Province, is unique. It is different from all other teas in that the fresh leaves undergo only two processing operations, in a rigourously natural fashion: Withering and drying.Very little white tea is produced and its manufacture requires particular care. The name white tea comes from the silvery-white color of its leaves, which often have a white down on them. China is practically the only supplier of high quality white teas.Plant: Camellia SinensisBrewing: Leaves are good size but much lighter and more delicate than that of Black, Oolong and Green Tea, therefore you should use more leaves per cup than with other teas (1 -2 tsp per cup vs. 1 tsp of other teas).Water Temperature: Between 170 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit (The more delicate the tea the lower the temperature.)Steeping Time: 1-3 minutes.Flavor: subtle, fresh, dissipating sweetnessLiquor: pale, straw colored
