White Tea, Bai Mu Dan
Camellia sinensis
Derived from the young tea plant buds, white tea is the least processed giving it light color, sweet flavor and plenty of antioxidants.
Contains Caffeine
Whether you choose fuzzy silver buds or delicate green leaves, white teas are a must for any tea lover. White teas are the least processed category of tea which makes a graceful, fresh cup. These teas do not have the loud flavors of black or oolong teas, nor do they contain the deeply vegetal notes of green tea. White teas are subtle, but don’t let that fool you—they can be quite complex in their quiet flavors. They are perfect to sip slowly, in order to focus on the mild flavors.
blend profile
for white tea
| water temp | 180°F (not boiling) |
| time | 3-5 minutes |
| amount | 2 grams tea per 8 ounces water NOTE: This large leaf white tea might require two tablespoons to reach suggested two grams. |
| infusion method | White tea has particularly delicate large leaves and extra care should be taken for an optimum flavor experience. Though tea balls and strainers are often used for tea that isn't pre-bagged, ideal methods of infusing loose leaf teas employ strainers that allow for the tea leaves to completely unfurl and release their flavor. Some tea enthusiasts dispense with using strainers altogether and drop leaves in the pot directly and then strain the tea when serving into cups. When employing this method be sure to pour out all tea or remaining liquid will get bitter from over-steeping. |
| notes on tea strength | The strength and flavor of tea is a personal experience. We aim to provide times and temperatures that reduce the risk of allowing the actual tea leaves (or other delicate herbs in blends) to taste bitter due to too much steep time or to get scorched from too much heat. If you desire a stronger cup, we suggest using more tea rather than a longer steep time to minimize the potential for a more bitter flavor. |
