Introducing our Malibu White Tea — a distinctive blend that reimagines what white tea can be. Grown and crafted on our sun-drenched California estate, this whole-leaf blend is a reflection of meticulous craftsmanship, rare botanicals, and a commitment to elevating everyday tea into something extraordinary.
At the heart of this blend is our estate-grown Bai Mudan-style white tea, hand-plucked at one bud and one to two leaves. Its flavor is layered and compelling — complex vegetal notes unfold alongside hints of fresh ginger and a surprising touch of red pepper spice that lingers gracefully on the palate.
Paired with this is our lavender-mint — a rare peppermint cultivar naturally infused with a lavender-like aroma. Unlike commercial peppermint, which can overwhelm with menthol intensity, our lavender-mint offers a cooling, floral lift that’s both refreshing and refined. Grown on our own dedicated plot, these leaves are hand-harvested and gently withered to preserve their essential oils, resulting in a mint tea that is softer, sweeter, and dramatically less astringent than most.
This pairing is rare — mint is almost never blended with white tea, as most white teas are too delicate to hold their own. But this particular cultivar and processing method allows a seamless union. The result is a tea that is both calming and invigorating, with remarkable balance and character.
Brew a cup and let the aroma of spring greens, mint, and lavender transport you to the golden fields and quiet beauty of our California tea gardens.
Our white tea is composed of hand-plucked buds and young leaves, following the traditional Bai Mudan (White Peony) standard.
Unlike most white teas that are quickly fan-dried, ours is air-withered slowly on trays in a temperature-controlled room for up to a week, preserving the delicate oils and volatile compounds that define exceptional white tea.
Once reduced to 20% moisture, the leaves are gently oven-finished at 80°C over four hours, reaching a final moisture content of 8% — locking in the tea’s soft sweetness and layered complexity.
