Product Story & Origin

China's Most Beloved White Tea Elevated with Grapefruit

Pai Mu Tan also written as Bai Mu Dan, meaning White Peony is one of China's most treasured and widely celebrated white teas. Grown in the misty mountains of Fujian Province, where the climate and altitude create ideal conditions for the most delicate tea leaves, Pai Mu Tan is made from young tea buds and the two newest leaves, carefully hand-plucked at the precise moment of peak quality and then allowed to wither and dry with minimal processing.

The result is a tea of extraordinary natural beauty: pale golden in the cup, with a flavor that is simultaneously delicate and complex soft, slightly sweet, with subtle floral notes and a gentle natural sweetness that requires nothing added to be completely perfect. Of all white teas, Pai Mu Tan strikes the most beautiful balance between the ethereal lightness of a silver needle and the fuller body of more processed teas.

At Palm Beach Teas, we bring this extraordinary white tea together with the soft citrus brightness and pleasant bitterness of grapefruit one of Florida's most iconic fruits to create White Grapefruit Tea: a cup that is light, refreshing, and deeply elegant. The grapefruit adds a gentle citrus lift and a pleasant, palate-cleansing bitterness that makes every sip feel fresh and invigorating. This is premium white tea that honors its extraordinary heritage while celebrating the sunshine of West Palm Beach.

Pro Tips for Perfect White Tea

•       White tea requires the lowest temperature of all tea types never exceed 185°F. Boiling water will destroy the delicate catechins and flatten the subtle grapefruit and floral notes.

•       White tea leaves are large and fluffy use 1.5–2 tsp per 8 oz for a fuller, more flavorful cup.

•       Steep 4–5 minutes to allow the Pai Mu Tan leaves to fully unfurl and release their complete flavor profile.

•       Excellent for cold brewing: place 2 tsp in 8–12 oz cold water and refrigerate for 8–12 hours. Cold-brewed white tea is remarkably smooth and naturally sweet.

•       Re-steep 2–3 times Pai Mu Tan's large leaves give excellent multiple infusions, each slightly different.

•       Serve in a glass teacup to appreciate the beautiful pale golden color of the brew.
