White Peony King (Bai Mudan Wang) is a premium aged white tea from Fuding, Fujian. Made from tender spring buds and young leaves of the Fuding Dabai cultivar, this tea offers a smooth and refined character with natural sweetness and layered complexity. It is low in caffeine and suitable for daily drinking, quiet tea sessions, mindful relaxation, and tea lovers who enjoy delicate yet evolving flavors. The aging process gives the tea a softer and more rounded profile while preserving the fresh elegance that high-grade white tea is known for.

The aroma is gentle and expressive, with notes of fresh flowers, ripe stone fruit, light herbs, honey, and creamy milk-like sweetness. The liquor is smooth, mellow, and naturally sweet, with hints of apricot, melon, dried fruit, and lingering floral freshness. The mouthfeel is soft, rounded, and clean, with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste that slowly develops with each infusion. The flavor is balanced and calming, offering both freshness and maturity in the cup.

This tea is traditionally crafted using natural sun-withering and slow indoor drying techniques, without roasting or heavy oxidation. The leaves are carefully hand-picked in early spring and minimally processed to preserve their natural character. With aging, the tea develops deeper fruity and herbal notes while maintaining the elegant softness of classic Fuding white tea. White tea has long been appreciated in Chinese tea culture for its pure craftsmanship, gentle energy, and ability to age beautifully over time.

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.
