Superior Peony White Tea (Qingming) is a premium new tea harvested before the Qingming Festival, featuring tender one-bud-two-leaf plucks from Fuding tea trees in Fujian. The tea is characterized by plump buds and delicate leaves covered in dense white hairs, offering a fresh, natural flavor profile with subtle floral notes.
Origin:Fuding, Fujian | Sort:White Tea (Peony Grade) | Level:Superior Grade |
Season:Early Spring (Pre-Qingming) | Quality Rating:★★★★★ | Storage:Store in a cool, dry, airtight container away from light and odors. Best preserved in ceramic jars or vacuum-sealed bags. |
The crafting of Superior Peony White Tea involves 6 traditional steps: Fresh plucking → Natural withering (sunlight & indoor) → Gentle tumbling → Air-drying at low temperature → Hand-screening for uniformity → Sealed curing to enhance aroma.
The dry tea exhibits intact one-bud-two-leaf structures with silvery-white hairs, forming a natural peony-like shape. The color ranges from ash-green to olive, with a glossy sheen, and emits a clean, fresh aroma of wildflowers and honeydew.
The brewed liquor is clear and bright, displaying a pale apricot-yellow hue with a subtle golden glow, reminiscent of spring sunlight filtered through foliage.
On the palate, it delivers a smooth, delicate sweetness with upfront notes of ripe melon and osmanthus, followed by a lingering floral finish. The texture is silky and hydrating, with a gentle astringency that gives way to a refreshing aftertaste. It remains vibrant through 5–7 infusions.
Rich in L-theanine and antioxidants, this tea offers: - Stress relief and mental clarity - Enhanced immune function - Improved hydration and skin health - Natural detoxification support - Mild metabolism boost
Ideal for tea connoisseurs seeking the purity of early-spring white tea, as well as those who prefer light, aromatic brews. Perfect for daily enjoyment or as a sophisticated gift for health-conscious individuals.
