Description
The Art of Minimal Intervention Pai Mu Tan is a testament to the beauty of nature left nearly untouched. Unlike other teas, it is not panned or rolled; it is simply withered and dried in the sun. This minimal processing preserves the high concentration of antioxidants and the natural “silky” hairs on the tea buds, resulting in a cup that is as pure as it is flavorful.
A Symphony of Flavors
-
Aroma: A refined bouquet of fresh spring flowers, honeyed melon, and a hint of sun-dried hay.
-
Taste: The infusion pours a shimmering pale gold. On the palate, it is incredibly soft and naturally sweet, featuring notes of white blossoms, cucumber, and a subtle nutty undertone.
-
Texture: Velvety and light-bodied. It has a smooth, “shadow-like” quality that leaves the palate feeling clean and revitalized.
