White Peony belongs to the white tea category.
While it is called White Peony, it has nothing to do with the peony flower known to the public. It is made from large white tea and large hair tea produced in Fuding, Ningde, Fujian through certain processing steps. It is a fermented tea, but the degree of fermentation is not very high. This tea resembles a flower, so it is called White Peony tea. The production process of White Peony is very simple, with only two processes: shriveling and roasting, so the nutrients of the tea are preserved to the greatest extent possible. Therefore, White Peony tea has many benefits, especially the old tea.

White peony is a famous tea among white teas, which can be categorized into special grade, first grade, second grade and third grade. White Peony tea has good appearance quality, rich inner nutrition, fresh taste after brewing, tender and long-lasting, mellow taste with sweet flavor, which is a good tea.
Introduction of White Peony Tea Picking Characteristics:
White Peony is made from one bud and two leaves of the tea tree. The traditional harvesting standard is to pick one bud and two leaves from the first round of spring tea shoots, with the length of the buds and leaves basically equal, and the requirement of "three whites", i.e., the buds and leaves are full of white velvet hairs. The leaves are shaped like willow leaves that have just been drawn in the spring, and the edges of the leaves are pointed.
On one side of the leaf, it is extremely tender and sandy green. The back side of the leaf, on the other hand, looks fat and full because it is covered with dense white hairs. The overall color is a beautiful gray-green, which is why it is called "White Peony". In addition, White Peony tea is made without frying and kneading, but only withering and roasting. Therefore, in addition to the name, White Peony tea is also unique in its aroma and taste, and can be said to be a good tea based on its strength.
