Mutan White comes to us from China, where white teas have long been prized for their gentle character and minimal processing. The dry leaves are green and white, and once brewed, they yield a pale yellow cup that resembles warm water, which is precisely the point. This tea is dried slowly, and that allows for just a bit of oxidation. Whit

I love Mutan white tea. It is expensive but was one of my dad’s favorites. I always think of him as I make the tea. Hot or cold with some lemon aid it’s perfect!!

Best White tea!
I love the fresh clean taste of Mutan White. I love it hot or in ice tea. I like to mix equal amounts of Mutan White, Formosa Oolong and Organic Gunpowder green tea for a very refreshing pitcher of ice tea.

My favorite tea
I have been drinking Harney teas, exclusively, for many years. I first encountered Harney Teas, going to the vintage car races at Limerock Ct. Went to the tasting rooms, tried a bunch of them, and discovered Mutan White, now my favorite, and daily tea.
