White Tea
What our customers say
It [A Leaf & A Bud] washes into the mouth with all its berry-like sweetness. There is a savoury body there, complementing the sweet high notes and giving the tea depth. (Eric D.)

A Leaf & A Bud
A bai mu dan-style white tea from Satrupa Estate in Assam, Northeast India. Satrupa Estate has started its conversion to a biodynamic teagarden in 2008 but it will be still a few years before all teas are fully bio- dynamic. A Leaf & A Bud is a light to medium-bodied tea with a definite character. Naturally sweet with the famous Assam malt flavour and a hint of citrus fruit.
Organic Doke Bai Mu Dan (biodynamic, fair-trade)
This special tea is made of meticiously hand-picked, beautiful '2 leaf and 1 bud'-sets at Doke Tea Estate in the small Province of Bihar, Northern India. Converted into a biodynamic tea garden more than 10 years ago, Doke has proven to produce worldclass white tea that can compete with the famous whites from Fujian Province, China. The yellowish leaves brew an ethereal infusion full of citrus and stone fruit notes. It's our lightest white tea and ideal for those avoiding strong flavours.

Organic Bai Mu Dan, King Grade
King Grade marks the highest grade available for this type of tea. Bai Mu Dan is made from the bud and the youngest leaf. The inclusion of the youngest leaf brings more body to the infusion and makes a 'stronger' (in relative terms) white tea. This is an exceptional tea and so full of white hair that your hand will be coated with them when you take the leaves from the container! Produces at least 4 outstanding infusions when brewed gong fu, which we'd recommend.
