Delicate Elegance in Every Sip. Bai Mu Dan (Pai Mu Tan), also known as White Peony tea, is a prized Chinese white tea renowned for its gentle flavour, floral aroma, and natural sweetness. Made from young tea buds and the first leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, this tea offers a soft golden liquor with notes of fresh peony, honey, and melon. Its light, refreshing profile makes it a perfect choice for slow, mindful moments and those seeking a truly refined tea experience.
Packed with catechins, polyphenols and essential minerals, Bai Mu Dan tea supports immune health, aids digestion and promotes healthy skin. Its low caffeine content provides a calm, sustained energy lift without overstimulation, ideal for morning clarity or an afternoon wind-down. Known for its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties, this tea is as nourishing for the body as it is soothing for the soul.
Bai Mu Dan (白牡丹) in Chinese which translates to White Peony, is the highest grade of white tea available before one enters the stratosphere in pricing for white teas such as Peony White Needle Tea. Pai Mu Tan leaves are plucked from a special varietal tea bush called Narcissus or chaicha bushes. Secondly the leaves are not steamed or pan-fired (the process used in green teas). The leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun. These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white colour and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down.
In addition to its anticancer properties, the tea has a calming and detoxifying effect on the skin. White tea is especially potent in that it is has three times as many antioxidant polyphenols as green or black tea and has been shown to be 100% more effective in mopping up free radicals. Researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute in Oregon tested white teas on selected rates to test for the ability of white teas to inhibit natural mutations in bacteria and to protect the rates from colon cancer. Interestingly, white teas were found to be more effective than green tea in inhibiting the early stages of cancer.
