Mini Cake Style
This white peony tea is harvested in 2018, well-aged and pressed into cake style which is ideal for storage and saving packing material. Mini cake is designed for an easier tea brewing experience. Just use one piece each time. It is good for a pot of tea or Gongfu style brewing using Gaiwan.
Classic Flavor & Fragrance
White Peony is beautiful, with shimmering silvery-white, down-covered buds. The liquid is golden in color. The aroma is floral and slightly fruity, like springtime in a meadow, with light notes of Chinese medicine and a subtle sweetness. The flavor is fresh, leaving a long, lingering finish. White Peony improves with age, so this is a good tea to stock up on and enjoy gradually, over the years.
Tea Garden
We source from the leading well-managed tea garden and processing facility in Zhejiang province. A 1,000-acre tea garden in Wuyi County grows and produces tea in the traditional white tea style.
What is White Peony?
White Peony (Bai Mudan in Chinese) is the name of a tea picking style; each stem picked includes one bud and two young tea leaves. The name comes from the shape of the leaves as they brew, like flowers dancing in the water.
White tea is full of healthy components, including catechins, polyphenols, and other antioxidants. Its properties are similar to certain types of Chinese Medicine. The tea gains in health benefits and complexity of flavor over time, and many people in China are now aging White Peony just like Sheng (Raw) Pu Erh. With age, White Peony becomes smoother and sweeter.
Traditional Processing Method
An experienced tea master is in charge of every processing step, from picking and outdoor sun withering through a long indoor withering lasting 2-3 days, and finally drying at low temperature. White tea is not rolled, and there is no “kill green” step to stop the fermentation process, so white tea is good for aging.
