Peony White Needle

Camellia sinensis

Tea · whole bud & leaf, withered · Fujian, China

A classic Fuding white tea prized for gentle everyday sipping — one of the least processed teas made, simply withered and dried. Downy silver buds and soft young leaves brew a pale gold cup of honeydew melon, fresh hay, and white flowers, with a soft, round sweetness. The finish is clean and cooling, with none of the briskness of greener teas.
