White tea is the lightest-handled style on the tea shelf: leaves are simply withered and dried, with none of the rolling, firing or oxidation that defines green, oolong or black tea. The result is a pale cup that tastes of the leaf itself — soft, slightly sweet, faintly floral. Pai Mu Tan (“White Peony”) is the classic Fujian white, named for the unfurled bud-and-leaf shape that resembles a peony bloom in the tin. Dried blueberry pieces sit on top of that gentle base. They add a soft fruit sweetness that complements rather than overpowers — white tea is too delicate to carry an aggressive flavour. The cup stays pale, the berry stays gentle, and the whole thing drinks well at any temperature. 💫 Pai Mu Tan Base The classic Fujian white — whole bud-and-leaf 🍇 Real Blueberry Dried fruit pieces, not just flavour drops ☕ Lower Caffeine Lighter than green or black — afternoon-friendly ✨ **The Sampson Promise** We only put ingredients in our products that we would use on our own family. Every ingredient has a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it isn’t. Type White Tea (flavoured) Caffeine Low Best Time Afternoon Format Loose Leaf Steep Time 3–5 min Servings ~25 cups (50g) ## Tasting Notes 🍇 Soft Berry Top Aroma The aroma reads gently fruity — dried-blueberry sweetness rather than candied or syrupy. Behind it sits the faint hay-and-honey note typical of Pai Mu Tan. 💫 Pale Light Body Body The cup brews pale gold, never dark. White tea is delicate by nature — the body is lighter than green, with a soft melon-water sweetness underneath the berry. ✨ Clean Sweet Finish Aftertaste Closes naturally sweet, slightly floral. Won’t go bitter on a 5-minute steep — white tea’s gentle structure forgives time generously. ## How to Brew 01 Measure One heaped teaspoon (about 2–3g) per 8oz cup. White tea is voluminous — fill the spoon properly. 02 Heat to ~80°C Boil and let stand 30–60 seconds, or pull just as bubbles form. White tea is delicate — over 85°C the cup turns flat. 03 Steep 3–5 Minutes Three for a brighter cup, five for fuller body. Pai Mu Tan can re-steep — second pour stays sweet. Water ~80°C Time 3–5 min Per Cup 1 heaped tsp Try iced — cold brew overnight in the fridge for a soft, naturally sweet glass that drinks like fruit water rather than tea. The blueberry comes through more clearly cold than hot. ## About the Tea 💫 Pai Mu Tan Base The Heart Whole bud-and-leaf white tea from Fujian Province, China. Withered and dried only — no rolling, no firing, no oxidation. The leaf does the work. 🍇 Dried Blueberry The Fruit Real blueberry pieces dried into the blend — visible in the tin, not just an aroma drop. They re-hydrate slowly in the cup and add a gentle, naturally sweet fruit body without overpowering the white-tea base. 🌼 Cornflower Petals The Look Blue cornflower petals scattered through the leaf. They’re mostly cosmetic — they make the tin photograph beautifully — but they also add a faint, almost imperceptible floral lift to the aroma. In the tin White tea (Pai Mu Tan), dried blueberry pieces, cornflower petals, natural blueberry flavour. Origin & Sourcing Built on Pai Mu Tan from Fujian Province, China — the classic Chinese white tea — with dried blueberry pieces, cornflower petals and a natural fruit flavour to round it. Lower in caffeine than green or black, gentle enough for the late afternoon, blended in small batches for the Sampson shelf. ## Images - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/blueberry-white-tea-4711572.jpg?v=1780653428 - https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0571/5319/2067/files/blueberry-white-tea-6318805.jpg?v=1780653428
