This 2012 spring White Peony has been establishing own characters, with enriched aroma and less grassy tastes, during the past one year.

Early spring (around Qingming Festival) is also the best picking season for top quality White Peony while summer usually offers leaner tea leaves. With advanced gardening, tea leaves harvested during autumn are possible to make relatively high quality White Peony. Both buds and leaves are supposed to be picked up when they are still “young”. White Peony is made mostly from “one bud with one leaf” and supplemented by “one bud with two leaves”. During the process of withering, the leaf veins become red while the rest turns into gray or dark green. Silver buds being embraced by the “colorful” and naturally curly leaves, White Peony looks like the charming flower, as the name indicates.

The health benefits of White Peony are all-round and balanced, which can be strengthened when it ages.

We’re a Swedish-Chinese tea company specialized in limited organic Chinese tea, especially premium white tea. We offer worldwide delivery and share tea knowledge, experience as well as inspiration through both company website and offline events (e.g. tea tasting, tea tour).

We hand source our teas directly from the organic farms around Taimu Mountain in Fuding (northeastern Fujian Province, China). Nurtured by the unique geographic and climatic conditions, Fuding tea is considered to the ideal white tea variety due to its tippy and bold terminal buds. Additionally, our Fuding white variety is produced using only the traditional tea processing techniques unique to white teas.

White tea is distinguished from other types of teas for its rarity, minimal post-picking processing and lauded health benefits. Under favorable conditions, its value is increased by time as enzymes within the tea itself continue to develop and evolve. As the Chinese saying goes, “one year as tea, three years as medicine and seven years as treasure”. Aged white tea is highly appreciated for its enriched flavor and a further development of its formidable health benefits.
