“Okay, here comes the final review of the day. This was another recent white tea sipdown. I think I finished the last of my one ounce pouch of this tea two or three days ago. Some of you may recall...” Read full tasting note
This high grade White Peony is grown at a small tea farm in Zhenghe, Fujian, China. Zhenghe is regarded as the original and oldest area for white tea cultivation in China. The plant cultivars in the area produce considerable amounts of down, ‘white-silvery hair,’ on the leaf buds. It is this down that gives the brew its buttery, smooth texture.
White Peony is made in the month of April each year. Only the newly sprouted ‘buds’ and young leaves of the tea plant are used. Several grades are available in the tea industry and it is also common now to find White Peony teas made in other regions in China. After the leaves are plucked, they are dried on bamboo trays.
