Blueberry White Tea

Description

💫 White Tea🍇 Real Blueberry☕ Lower Caffeine🌿 Loose Leaf

The delicate cup — Fujian white tea, the lightest-touch processing in the tea world, with real dried blueberry.

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.

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.
