Unfortunetly I have not been able to find much information about white
teas. For Pai Mu Tan I have found 10 minutes at 75°C, 8 minuter at
85°C. Now, I need also information about quantity to use, because it
is different from other teas. Anyone can suggest me a site, a book
where I can learn more about it? In Italy it's impossible to find
anything!

I recently received a sample of Pai Mu Tan from Upton which recommends 2-3
teaspoons at 180F for 3 minutes. I haven't tried it yet, so don't know if
it'll work as stated and YMMV anyhow.

Brewing Advice: Use two heaped teaspoons per mug, add hot but not
boiling water (70 deg C). Steep for two minutes.

In a book that I have, I have found as the best steeping time 10
minutes. A thing that I've noticed, it's that over 75°C this kind of
tea loses a lot of it's taste. However, anyone has obtained the real
strong grape taste, typical of PAI MU TAN, with 3 minutes steep? It
looks to me like a very short time.

More leaf, less time, better outcome. That's my theory, and it seems to
work. I get the "grape" taste. Kind of a Tokai, I believe.

And what about the quantity Michel?
Do you put three heaped teaspoons? 3 minutes 75°C it's enough for your
quantity?
