Tea Story

White tea is highly valued for its aging potential, with older teas often developing more complex and nuanced flavors. This 2017 harvest of white peony is particularly noteworthy, as it was a year that provided excellent growing conditions. The leaves are carefully picked and minimally processed to preserve their natural qualities, involving withering and drying in the sun. When pressed into a 100g cake, it becomes a compact and convenient way to store and enjoy this exquisite tea. This tea offers a unique taste experience shaped by the growing conditions and processing techniques of that year.

This White Peony boasts a fresh and lively character with a delicate yet complex flavor profile. Its pale golden liquor is smooth and refreshing, while the aroma is a captivating blend of floral and fruity notes with subtle hints of honey. The tea delivers a clean, sweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly. With its potential for significant improvement over time, this thick and viscous tea promises multiple satisfying infusions.

Renowned for its antioxidant properties, White Peony contributes to improved heart health, a stronger immune system, and potential anti-aging benefits. This versatile tea cake is perfect for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift. With its exceptional quality and aging potential, the 2017 White Peony is a true gem for tea connoisseurs.

Uplifting and Satisfying Tea

First of all, the material is beautiful, good balance of buds to leaf. The dry leaf smell is reminiscent of apple blossoms. The liquid in first infusion is a pale golden yellow and has a bouyancy in the mouth. The second infusion brews more amber gold. A pleasant taste, pear with a light woodiness. A thickness developed as the tea liquid cooled. I wanted to follow the suggested brewing instructions as closely as possible, and was doubtful that 5 seconds would be long enough for the 3rd and 4th brews. I was proven wrong. The flavor was still very satisfying with a pleasantly smooth mouthfeel. The overall uplifting impression this tea gives me is walking through a slightly breezy apple or pear orchard in bloom. Excellent tea!
