Introduction: |
White Peony, also known as Pai Mu Tan, is a sweet, mild tea made from unopened tea buds, as well as the two newest leaves to sprout. The freshly harvested leaves are allowed to wither and dry in the sun. The natural oxidation which takes place during this withering gives White Peony Tea beautiful, plush flavors. The nose is warm, floral and rich like fruit blossoms.
White Peony Tea is probably the most common white tea in the market and most widely loved white tea. With more and more people who like aged white tea, white tea is now also pressed into cakes like puerh as white tea cakes are convenient for storing. White Peony Tea Cakes have a wide range of price in the market with huge quality differences. The White Peony Tea cake shown here is sourced by ViconyTeas from the tea farmers in Taimu mountain in Fuding and made in the traditional sun-dried production way and stone-mould pressed. You would find the White Peony Tea cake totally different from the widely available ones made in the large-scale industrialized way if you try it. The White Peony Tea cake which is heavy withered is good for consumption in the current year of production but if stored for years, it would taste better. |
