Sourced from the misty mountains of Fuding City in Fujian Province, our White Peony King (Bai Mudan Wang 白牡丹王) is a testament to the ideal climate and soil that nurture exceptional white tea. This highly esteemed variety is celebrated for its harmonious blend of sweetness and complexity, achieved through a unique combination of tender young buds and select leaves. For tea enthusiasts who appreciate light, subtle, and delicate flavors, the White Peony King offers a truly captivating experience. Its exquisite character and beautiful appearance also make it an ideal gift or a cherished addition to any personal tea collection.

The leaves for our Peony King are meticulously hand-picked in early spring, capturing the emergence of the first delicate buds and young leaves. This careful selection results in a top-grade tea rich in beneficial polyphenols and catechins, renowned for their antioxidant properties. The dry leaves present an enchanting visual tapestry of silver, green, and white hues, which gracefully transform into a light amber infusion upon brewing. The resulting brew unfolds a subtle, fresh fragrance with captivating floral and fruity notes, reminiscent of fragrant peonies and sweet, ripe apricots.

The palate is treated to a smooth and mellow taste, naturally sweet with delightful hints of honey and melon. Its delicate complexity has made White Peony a beloved choice among tea connoisseurs worldwide. While exceptionally delightful to enjoy fresh, White Peony tea also possesses remarkable potential for long-term storage. Over time, when stored properly, it develops deeper, more intricate flavors, offering a unique and rewarding journey for dedicated tea enthusiasts. Experience the timeless elegance and evolving character of our exquisite White Peony King.

Steeping Guidelines

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add hot water at 90°C (194°F), and steep for 5–7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with hot water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 95°C (203°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 15 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.

Cold Water Infusion

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:150. Add the leaves to room-temperature or cold water. Let steep for at least 4 hours at room temperature or in the fridge before drinking.

Fruity sweet with a delicate floral. I love to observe the beautiful harvesting protocol of dry leaves full of trichomes and the dance of the leaves depositing their catechins and theanines in the liquor.
