Bai Mudan - White Tea 100 gram - Café du Jour loose Tea

What is Bai Mudan white tea?

Bai Mudan white tea, also known as White Peony tea, is one of the most admired styles of loose-leaf white tea. It is made from large, whole leaves combined with plenty of young, unopened leaf buds. The leaves are processed by hand as little as possible, which keeps the natural character of the leaf intact and gives the cup a light, sweet and mild flavour.

Large leaves and unopened buds

What sets Bai Mudan apart is the generous presence of young, unopened buds alongside the larger leaves. These buds are covered in fine silvery hairs and add a gentle sweetness to every cup. Because the tea goes through minimal processing, the result stays close to the natural leaf - delicate, clean and easy to enjoy.

Minimal processing for an authentic taste

Hand-processed white tea like this one is treated with great care at every step. There is no heavy rolling or high-heat firing involved. This light approach preserves the natural appearance of the leaf and delivers a cup that is smooth, mild and subtly sweet.

Who is it suitable for?

This Bai Mudan white tea suits anyone who enjoys a gentle, refined cup of tea. Whether you are new to loose-leaf white tea or already a seasoned tea enthusiast, the mild and sweet flavour makes it easy to appreciate. You do not need any special equipment - just a teapot or infuser and hot water.

• Tea lovers who prefer a light, delicate flavour over bold or heavy teas
• Anyone curious about hand-processed white tea for the first time
• People who enjoy brewing whole-leaf loose tea at home
• Those who like to explore authentic tea styles with minimal additives

How do you use Bai Mudan?

Brewing Bai Mudan white tea is straightforward. Use water that is hot but not boiling - around 75 to 85 degrees Celsius works well for white tea. Let the leaves steep for two to three minutes for a light cup, or a little longer if you prefer more flavour. Because the leaves are whole and minimally processed, you can often infuse the same leaves more than once.

1. Measure roughly 2 to 3 grams of loose-leaf white tea per 200 ml of water
2. Heat your water to around 75 to 85 degrees Celsius
3. Place the leaves in a teapot, infuser or strainer
4. Pour the hot water over the leaves
5. Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then pour and enjoy
6. Re-infuse the same leaves one or two more times for additional cups

A 100 gram pack of this loose-leaf white tea gives you approximately 40 to 50 cups, depending on how much tea you use per brew and how many infusions you take from each serving.
