Blender’s Notes Butterscotch:
There is something wonderfully romantic about Pai Mu Dan, or White Peony tea. White tea is among the most gently processed styles of tea, traditionally allowing the natural character of the freshly plucked leaf to take center stage. Its history is deeply connected to Fujian Province, China, a region considered the traditional home of Chinese white tea. Historical forms of white tea can be traced to China’s Song dynasty, while the style of Pai Mu Dan familiar to tea drinkers today developed much later as Fujian tea makers refined particular cultivars and production methods. Unlike teas that undergo more extensive rolling and oxidation, Pai Mu Dan is traditionally handled with remarkable simplicity. Tender buds and young leaves are carefully gathered, gently withered and slowly dried with minimal manipulation. This restrained processing helps preserve the beautiful silvery buds, soft green leaves, delicate fragrance, and natural personality of the tea. The name Pai Mu Dan, meaning “White Peony,” comes from the appearance of the leaves and silvery buds as they gracefully unfurl in hot water, reminiscent of a peony opening its petals. On its own, Pai Mu Dan is beautifully subtle but far from boring. Expect a pale golden to light apricot cup with a soft, mellow body, delicate floral aroma, and gentle fruity sweetness. Compared with the exceedingly delicate Silver Needle, Pai Mu Dan has a little more body and a fuller floral presence while remaining smooth and low in astringency. It’s an elegant tea that whispers rather than shouts, which also makes it a beautiful canvas for blending.
And that is where we give this classic white tea a little Steep Me personality. We pair our Pai Mu Dan with cinnamon, pink peppercorns, and marigolds, then finish it with the irresistible aroma of high-quality butterscotch essential oil. Against the delicate floral sweetness of the white tea, cinnamon brings familiar warmth, pink peppercorns provide a lively little spark, and marigolds add another soft botanical dimension. Then comes that wonderful butterscotch aroma, rich, warm, and nostalgic, bringing to mind old-fashioned butterscotch candies and all the comforting smells of home. The finished cup is soft and floral, warmly spiced, subtly fruity and deliciously butterscotch-forward, with enough complexity from the Pai Mu Dan to keep the sweetness from stealing the whole show. Cozy enough to curl up with on its own, yet special enough to dress up for the evening. And if you’re feeling a little indulgent, pair it with Tom & Jerry mix for a creamy, warming adult beverage that feels practically made for fireside sipping.

To celebrate autumn's warmth, we’ve paired our Keemun Mao Feng with dried Fuji apple, caramel bits, and toffee pieces. The result is a cozy, lightly sweet blend that feels like crisp fall air, turning leaves, and sweater weather in a cup. The natural apple notes melt beautifully into Keemun’s malty base, while the caramel and toffee add a soft dessert‑like finish without overwhelming the tea’s elegance.
