White tea comes from a rare strain of the tea plant and is harvested only a few days of the year. Once harvested, white tea is not oxidized or rolled, but simply withered and dried by steaming.

Mutan White or White Peony is made from the leaves of the 'Dai Bai' or 'Big White' bush and mixed with buds from the 'Shui Hsien' or 'Water Sprite' tea plant. The leaves have silver tips and are predominantly greenish-brown in color and very flat. The buds are lustrous, soft and ilvery. Its name, a literal translation from the Chinese, probably comes from the very pale color of its liquor.
