Description
Origin: Fuding, Fujian Province, China
Cultivar: Fuding Da Hao
Elevation: 500-700m
Harvest: April 4, 2022
White Peony King, or Bai Mu Dan Wang, is the grand cru of White Peony tea. The spring season’s new growth—one one leaf and one bud— from select tea bush cultivars such as Fuding Da Bai or Fuding Da Hao must be harvested during brief periods of sunshine amid the generally foggy coastal air to produce such a stellar tea. The tender leaf and bud plucks exude fresh energy and are covered with silvery-white trichomes, showcasing the classic appearance of downy white tea. This 2022 vintage of White Peony King shows a delicate golden infusion with a rich taste and silky, smooth body. The umami and sweet aftertaste is long with aromas of wildflowers and soft cassia spice.
