A pure white China tea - also known as Bai Mudan. Entirely hand-crafted from tender spring buds and fresh new leaves.
Like White Silver Tip Tea which comprises just the spring buds, this tea also contains the first delicate leaves. The combination of tender buds and the freshest new leaves, plucked just as they open to the sun, creates a delicate silky tea with a greener depth.

This white peony is one of the best I have had. The flavor like most white teas is delicate but clear. This one is a bit nutty and grassy. It's great anytime of day.
Although I normally go for a builders brew, this tea is full of subtle flavour and I am really enjoying it. It is complex and refreshing - a lovely afternoon drink.
This is a truly fine white tea. A wonderfully delicate flavour, but certainly not bland if given time to infuse. It’s now added to Silver Tip Jasmine as my favourite white teas.
I've not had a white tea like this before. It's a bit like subtle peachy fruits and because it's a white tea its super calming. Really enjoyed this one

dried in the sun
Gently processed by hand
Quite unlike a black tea, which has been oxidised to bring out the stronger, more tannic flavours, white tea is just dried in the sunshine. It is the least processed of all teas.
Undergoing such limited processing means White Peony retains higher levels of antioxidants than other teas. It brews to a pale golden cup.
