Origin

This white tea cake is using White Peony as raw material, comes from the Panxi Town, which is located in the southwest of Fuding City, at 26 North latitude, at the west foot of Taimu Mountain, and 33 kilometers away from Fuding City.

Panxi is regarded as an ecological town due to its 88% forest coverage rate and 96% greening rate. It has a mild climate and abundant rainfall. The soil is mainly yellow-red gravel soil with high organic matter and mineral content, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees.

Appearance & Taste

White Peony Tea is a delicate, Chinese white tea, a downy silver bud and the top two newest leaves harvested from select tea bush cultivars such as Fuding Da Bai or Fuding Da Hao tree in Spring. The tender leaf and bud plucks exude fresh energy and are covered with silvery-white trichomes, showcasing the classic appearance of downy white tea.

When brewed, a very smooth, fresh, gentle golden infusion with delicate, fruity and floral flavors is produced.

Storage

1. Keep out of the Sun

If white tea is directly exposed to sunlight, the substances contained in the leaves will start to decompose, reducing the nutritional value and affecting the taste of the tea.

2. Keep dry and tightly sealed

If to let the white tea under a wet environment for a long time, it will easy to get mold and develop a so-called "plum aroma." To prevent the tea turning bad or going mouldy, humidity should be avoided. Therefore, use containers with good breathability, such as sand pots. Ceramic pots, which can absorb water vapour in the air, should be avoided. In order to avoid the effects of wet weather, it is recommended not to stack containers up against walls or directly on the ground.

3. Store at room temperature.

As a slight-fermented tea, white tea is sensitive to the temperature. Too cold will affect the enzyme activity and make the aging slow down. Thus, white tea does not need to be refrigerated –the temperature can range from 0 to 30°C. However, significant changes in temperature should be avoided too.

4. Avoid storing it among things with mussy odours.

Tea can absorb different sorts of odour extremely easily; therefore, it should not be stored alongside anything strong-smelling.

5. Store different types of teas separately.

Such as white tea should be stored separately with pu’er tea.
