About this tea

White Peony King, or Bai Mu Dan Wang, is the grand cru of White Peony tea. The spring season’s new growth—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 2023 vintage of White Peony King shows a precious golden infusion with a rich taste and silky, smooth body. The oceanic umami and sweet aftertaste are long lasting with aromas of wildflowers, soft spice and sublime nuance only found in this region’s early spring white tea.
