About White Peony
The Raw Beauty
If Green Tea is "cooked" (steamed) and Black Tea is "burned" (roasted), White Tea is raw. Our Organic White Peony (Bai Mu Dan) is the least processed tea in our entire collection. It consists of one silver bud and two young leaves, which are plucked and simply allowed to wither in the sun. This gentle process preserves the tea in its most natural state.
Why It Works
Because it isn't exposed to high heat, White Tea retains the highest concentration of antioxidants (catechins) of any tea type. Flavor-wise, it is the "anti-bitter" tea. It offers a soft, velvety mouthfeel with distinct notes of Honeydew Melon and Apricot. It is forgiving, gentle, and incredibly hydrating.
The Glass Ritual
Watch the dance. White Peony leaves are voluminous and beautiful (green leaves with silver downy hairs). Brew this in a glass pot or mug. As the leaves hydrate, they stand vertically in the water, mimicking the blooming of a peony flower.

FAQs Simply Answered
Are your teas organic?
The Short Answer: Yes. Every single leaf, root, and flower we source is Certified USDA Organic.
The Details: We believe that flavor starts in the soil. We strictly partner with growers who practice sustainable, organic farming, organic approved pesticides, no GMOs, and no "natural flavorings" sprayed on the leaves. While our Salem facility is a dedicated small-batch kitchen (and not yet a certified processing plant), our commitment to 100% organic ingredients is absolute. You are drinking pure nature, nothing else.
What are the "Refill Bags"?
We designed our system to be sustainable.
Our Signature Tin, protects the tea and contains all the detailed brewing and ingredient information.
The Refill: When you run low, you buy a Refill Bag.
Please Note: These biodegradable bags are designed as "Transport Vessels" only. They are not intended for individual sale. Upon arrival, please use the refill bag with into your YBTCO Tin. This ensures your tea stays fresh and you have the correct brewing instructions at hand.
Where is this made?
Handcrafted in Oregon.
Every batch of Yerba Buena tea is blended, tested, and packed in our dedicated tea kitchen in Salem, Oregon. We do not use co-packers or giant industrial machines. We blend in small lots to ensure that the oils are still volatile and the spices are still punchy when they reach your cup. It is a difference you can taste.
Is it safe for allergies (Gluten/Nuts)?
We keep it clean. All YBTCO teas are naturally Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and Vegan. Our facility does not process wheat, soy, peanuts, or dairy.
The Coconut Note: The only allergen present in our facility is Coconut (Tree Nut), which is used in specific blends like Maven Blend and Turmeric Spice. We adhere to strict cleaning protocols to prevent cross-contamination, but if you have a severe tree nut allergy, please shop with caution.
When will my order ship?
We know you are ready to brew. Because we hand-pack orders, they typically leave our Oregon kitchen within 2-3 business days.
