Creative Brewing Methods
Cold Brew: 2 tbsp tea + 32 oz cold water in a pitcher. Refrigerate 6-8 hours. Ideal for summer refreshment with low caffeine content.
Milk Tea: Mix tea with milk in a 1:1 ratio for a creamy latte. Add a touch of maple syrup for added sweetness.
Mocktail: Combine cold-brewed tea with sparkling water and mint leaves for a refreshing non-alcoholic drink.
Flavor Story
White tea is made from Camellia sinensis. What makes this particular tea unique is the processing method. The leaves are naturally withered and dried in the sun. So this particular tea is actually lightly oxidised because the oxidation starts immediately after the leaves are harvested. This tea normally has a lower caffeine content and contains more antioxidants than green tea.
White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements.

Craftsmanship Process
Harvesting
Handpicked one bud and two leaves from Fuding Dabaichaye or Narcissus tea trees in spring, requiring "three whites" (bud and two leaves fully covered in white down).
Withering
Indoor natural withering: Spread on bamboo trays to dry for 40-45 hours in a ventilated environment to retain natural aroma.This process usually takes half a month to a month, because the best time every day is from 4 to 6 pm, and there is no guarantee that it will be sunny every day.
Drying
Low-temperature baking (70-100°C) locks in nutrients without destroying flavonoids. Traditional charcoal baking adds unique roasted aroma.
Sorting
Manual removal of stalks and fragments ensures purity.
Geographic Origin
Location: Grown in Fuding and Zhenghe, Fujian Province, at altitudes of 200-1000 meters, surrounded by clouds and with significant day-night temperature differences.
Soil: Red soil rich in iron and minerals imparts a unique "mineral sweetness" to the tea.
Climate: Subtropical monsoon climate with annual rainfall of 1600mm. The slow growth of tea trees allows for the accumulation of more nutrients.
Storage Tips
White tea can be stored for long periods but requires proper storage:
- Seal Tightly: Use ceramic jars or food-grade sealed bags to block air.
- Cool & Dry: Store in a cool, dry place away from strong odors like coffee or spices.
- Long-Term Aging: White Peony aged for 3-5 years sees doubled flavonoid content and enhanced medicinal value.
