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.
