White Peony
Produced in: China
This tea, known as Gushan Baiyun, is grown on a mountaintop in northern Fujian where, traditionally, the monks at the historic Buddhist Drum Mountain Monastery grew it. Sir Robert Fortune, the eccentric English tea explorer, visited in the mid-19th century and drank this tea. Easy to drink, mild, sweet, and fragrant, with a soft coconut flavor. Low in caffeine. It’s a very lightweight tea - be sure to use enough.
White Peony
Produced in: China
This tea is grown in the Fujian Province of China and is traditionally known as Bai Mudan. This is one of the least processed of all teas - consisting of down-covered buds and young leaves. The resulting tea is very voluminous; you may need two full teaspoons for a serving. The infused leaves have an aroma of sorrell and a pleasing, nutty flavor.
Yin Zhen (Silver Needle)
Produced in: China
The rarest and most spectacular of the white teas is this, Yin zhen Silver Needle. Early in the spring, the individual leaf buds are picked and carefully handcrafted into this noteworthy tea. Infuse in a glass to enjoy the dance of the leaf bud spears, now green. Each bud is covered with white downy hair and the tea is known for its buttery, nutty flavor.
