Green Peony • 绿牡丹
Green Peony • 绿牡丹
An exquisite and rare white tea from a tiny organic tea garden in Yunnan. It has some of the most beautiful leaves we’ve ever seen. Elegant and tells of the pristine terroir it comes from, the care that goes into producing the tea. His farm is completely organic and biodynamic.
Green Peony is made by Mr. Tang, in Jinggu, Yunnan, where he planted Da Bai tea trees 17 years ago. Here he uses tea leaves meant for Pu-Erh tea and crafts it into a remarkable white tea.
The Green Peony is made using only first harvest leaves in spring. It is plucked before Qing Ming Festival, when the climate is dry and hotter. It is then slowly and gradually dried over sixty hours, which gives that creamy and floral notes. The tea is comforting, with a creamy sweetness and floral notes of wildflower honey, apricot and lily.
