Bai Mu Dan Organic White Tea is a rare, elegant White Tea from Fujian province, China. Produced in the early spring, it is only the top bud and two top leaves used in its making.
This ensures that it’s of the highest quality, which, when brewed, transcends in your cup. Every sip of this wholesome, nutritious infusion has delicate, floral flavours with a refreshing aftertaste.
White Teas such as Bai Mu Dan undergo only minimal oxidation. This means that they lack the caffeine of their Black, Green and Oolong Tea counterparts.
It also means they retain the vast majority of their antioxidants, thus enabling it to benefit your life in small yet significant ways.
