​White teas have recently become so popular that tea makers have begun making them all over the world. For now, however, the very best come from Fujian Province in China. This coastal province has played a crucial role in the evolution of tea, providing an astonishing treasure chest of incomparable teas.  Our White Peony Shou Mei is a delicious, light tea and it is the highest-grade Shou Mei. 

White Peony Shou Mei was developed in response to the high demand and subsequent high price of the original white tea, Silver Needle, the most famous white tea in China.  Fujian tea makers began to produce a new style of white tea—White Peony Shou Mei (Bai Mudan)—by incorporating leaves from the same Da Bai tea tree into the Silver Needle tea buds, resulting in a white tea that steeps to a strong flavor.  The use of leaf pucks gives White Peony Shou Mei a stronger flavor than Silver Needle, which many tea drinkers prefer and which will provide better results if the tea is to be flavored. 
Because of the light oxidation of this tea, it has a hint of the flavor of mild black tea, but without sharpness or astringency. This tea is smooth with a note of honey in the flavor and it brews to a light golden infusion with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of dried apricot and almonds and finishes with a long, bright, and fresh aftertaste.
Region: Fujian Province, China
Dry leaves: Large open leaf blended with Silver Needle buds
Flavor: Smooth, sweet, soft, with a hint of black tea's taste
Aroma: Clean, floral, fresh, with a hint of sweetness reminiscent of dried apricot and almonds.
Liquor: Light golden color

White Peony Shou Mei takes well to longer steep times. The leaves deliver more flavor when steeped longer, while the leaf buds prevent any significant amount of astringency from developing.
We recommend rinsing the leaves prior to brewing to ensure that they are properly pre-moistened.
