White Peony is a classic white tea from high-altitude tea gardens in Fuding and Zhenghe, Fujian. It’s made with one bud and two leaves, exuding delicate floral and vegetal aromas. The brewed tea is golden and bright, offering notes of nougat, cherry jam, cucumber, and meadow flowers. The mouthfeel is smooth, sweet, and slightly savory like sourdough.
The leaves are sun-withered and low-baked to preserve active enzymes and polyphenols. The mineral-rich red soil and misty climate at 200–1000 meters elevation impart a signature “mineral sweetness” to this elegant tea.

Q1: Is this tea beginner-friendly?
✅ Yes. White Peony is one of the most approachable white teas — smooth, floral, and lightly sweet, with no bitterness or heaviness. A great start for beginners.
Q2: What’s the difference between White Peony and Silver Needle?
White Peony uses both bud and leaves, offering a richer and more rounded flavor. Silver Needle is made only of buds and has a lighter, more ethereal taste.
Q3: Why is my tea liquor darker than expected?
White tea naturally darkens with age due to mild oxidation. This is normal. Use 85–90°C water to retain a bright golden color.
