🌸 Pai Mu Tan White Tea

“Pai Mu Tan is the quiet masterpiece of the tea world. Its subtle floral notes and silky texture make it a tea for reflection—gentle, yet deeply expressive.” — Jamie Russell, Co-Founder & Master Blender, The Wee Tea Company. Discover the understated beauty of Pai Mu Tan White Tea, a premium loose leaf tea made from the young buds and tender leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Grown in the misty mountains of China’s Fujian province, this white tea is minimally processed to preserve its natural sweetness, floral aroma, and soft, velvety mouthfeel. Perfect for slow mornings, mindful afternoons, or moments of quiet indulgence, Pai Mu Tan is a tea that invites you to pause and savour.
