The tea farm has been certified organic since 2013 and is located at an elevation of 800m in Jiangxi province, southeastern China. Jiangxi is one of the most important tea regions in China and a significant part of it is made up of freshwater, including the largest freshwater lake in the country, Lake Poyang. The numerous mountainous regions of Jiangxi are largely used for growing tea, and the tea farm itself is surrounded by forests and is also a state-recognised water protection area.

Flavour

Wonderfully light and refreshing, a truly outstanding organic Bai Mu Dan with notes of dried plum and apricot topped with sweet, syrupy bourbon vanilla.

Leaf

Large, white buds and Autumn brown leaves

Cup

Bright, radiant yellow

White tea is the least processed type of tea, with the lowest degree of oxidation. It is traditionally withered outdoors in a careful, gradual process. Markers of quality include a high proportion of buds and a lightly coloured cup. Elegant and delicate, white teas tend to be subtly sweet with nuances of vanilla and a velvety texture.

Baimudan, also known as Pai Mu Tan or White Peony, is one of several types of white tea. Made up of buds and the first two leaves, Baimudan is similar in character to much prized, bud-only Silver Needle white tea but with more body and aroma.

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

About Yoshi En.

Cultivation & Processing

This Bai Mu Dan is made from second harvest buds and leaves hand-picked in early May, which are then gently wilted over several days on bamboo baskets, usually indoors, with the help of fans that circulate the air. Since the processing takes place at an altitude of 800m where the air is thinner, this means the leaves oxidise very slowly, creating a particularly delicate flavour profile. Once the desired level of wilting/oxidation is reached, the tea leaves are then gently dried in the oven to remove any remaining moisture.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

Steep 3 tsp in 150–200ml water at 75-80°C for 2 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.

Recommended Teapot

Brew in a Yixing teapot or a Tokoname Kyusu for a particularly aromatic infusion. Alternatively, steep in a glass teapot with ample room for the leaves to unfurl.

Packaging & Storage

Packed in a high-quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with seven protective layers to preserve flavour and prevent oxidation. After opening, press out as much air as possible when snapping shut. Alternatively place tea leaves in a stylish tea caddy.

Test results

We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
