White Peony tea (Bai Mu Dan) is a distinguished type of white tea crafted from plucks containing one leaf shoot and two young leaves (one bud, two leaf ratio) of the Camellia sinensis plant. This tea is favored by white tea enthusiasts for its robust flavor and greater potency compared to the more delicate Bai Hao Yinzhen (Silver Needle) tea. The unique taste of White Peony results from both meticulous processing and the specific tea plant cultivars used in its production. It offers a well-balanced flavor profile with subtle floral and fruity notes, making it a delightful tea for any occasion.
White Peony tea is valued for its natural compounds and antioxidants. These properties are known to support overall well-being by neutralizing free radicals in the body. The tea's polyphenols can contribute to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. Regularly drinking White Peony tea can be a soothing part of a wellness routine, helping to promote relaxation and mental clarity. The natural ingredients in this tea also support digestive health, making it a beneficial choice for daily consumption.
Our White Peony tea is sourced from the pristine tea gardens of Fujian Province, China, an area renowned for producing some of the finest white teas. The region's unique climate and fertile soil create the perfect conditions for growing high-quality tea plants. The leaves are hand-picked in early spring and undergo minimal processing to preserve their natural flavors and beneficial properties. This careful production process ensures that each cup of White Peony tea delivers the best of its origin.
Withering
Under controlled temperature and humidity conditions, the tea leaves are evenly spread out, allowing moisture to evaporate and enzyme activity to increase. This moderate promotion of enzyme activity helps to release some moisture and dissipate the grassy smell, preparing the leaves for subsequent processing steps.
Drying
Drying is the final step in the initial processing of tea leaves. It involves evaporating excess moisture, deactivating enzyme activity, and halting enzymatic oxidation. This process also promotes thermochemical reactions within the tea leaves, enhancing their aroma and flavor.
All our tea is sourced from China, directly from their original regions. You can refer to our “Direct from the Origin” section for more details. We work closely with local farmers and tea factories to ensure that every leaf meets the highest standards.
