Flavour

This delicate Bai Mu Dan ranks among the best Chinese white teas available. The hand-selected buds and leaves satisfy the highest quality standards. Cultivation at 1,800m elevation lends the tea a unique, aromatic profile. Buttery vanilla notes and nuanced notes of peach and balm make this tea special. The texture is wonderfully creamy and leaves a velvety feel on the tongue. A pure delight.

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

The highland of Yunnan has a mild, subtropical climate up to great heights. The climatic conditions of the highland's southern-facing slopes are predominantly influenced by the Indian Ocean and South China Sea.

The tea field is located in a mountainous area at over 1,800m elevation. This high elevation not only slows growth to produce aromatic tea, but also is prohibitive to insects and pests that would otherwise be attracted to the tea plants. As a result, the tea farmers do not need to utilise pesticides. The result is an impressive organic tea with an intense aroma.

Buds and leaves are selected by hand from the treasured 1st harvest. After harvesting the buds and leaves are withered for up to 3 days due to factors associated with the high elevation. Because the air is very thin, the leaves oxidise slowly and develop an especially delicate flavour profile that find their equivalent in the finest highland teas of Darjeeling.

Organic Certification

Preparation

Brewing Guide

3 heaped tsp in 100-300ml water (70°C). Steep for 3 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.

Packaging

High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with 9 protective layers to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.

Recommended Accessories

For an especially aromatic infusion, we recommend a yixing teapot made from clay or a black tokoname kyusu with a fine ceramic strainer. Alternatively, a tall glass teapot with an integrated strainer can be used for a more neutral taste.

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.
