White Peony Loose Leaf Tea

Delicate, fruity and fresh!

Our White Peony loose leaf white tea, also known as Bai Mu Dan, is produced in the Fujian Province of Eastern China. White Peony is made combining Silver Needle buds with larger leaves delivering a fuller flavour than Silver Needle white teas.

Our White Peony tea is fresh, has soft fruity notes (hints of melon) and a subtle floral aroma. Full of health benefits, and with a surprising amount of caffeine, it makes for the perfect every day brew!

What are the health benefits of white tea?  Famed for numerous health benefits, White tea has a deliciously delicate, sweet, refreshing taste. The least processed of all teas, the hand-picked leaves are barely touched and avoid the twisting, rolling and steaming process that other tea types undergo. Check out our blog post to see the answers to what is white tea and why is it so great? 

Fun fact: this beautiful tea gently unfolds to look like peony petals, hence the name. 

Ingredients: Each box contains 37.5g of loose leaf white tea

How to make the perfect white tea?

Step 1: Use one teaspoon per cup.

Step 2: Use freshly drawn boiled water that has been cooled to 70-80ºC. (Using boiling water can damage the leaves)

Step 3: Avoid oversteeping, we recommend 90 seconds. Taste it and then decide if you’d like to steep a little longer. The tea leaves can be resteeped multiple times.

Guilt-free sipping  

At We Are Tea, we're on a mission to bring the highest quality tea to the masses in a way that everyone can be proud of. Our blends are ethically sourced via the Ethical Tea Partnership which works on facilitating strategic sustainability projects, rigorous health and safety standards, and increasing farmer's resilience to climate change.

Our plastic free tea bags are made from soilon, a bi-product of corn starch which can fully biodegrade under the correct conditions in 3 – 6 months. 

We call this guilt-free sipping, and it's tea-rrific

Storage instructions: Keep away from moisture (until it lands in your cup!) We recommend you store your white tea in an opaque, airtight container. It might look pretty in glass, but the light damages the tea leaves and subsequent taste. Nooooooo!
