Taste profile
Nose: Fresh, open, mildly sweet fruity aroma with an over tone of cooked grains and an undertone of raw cane sugar. Palate: The silky, almost velvety, liquor is lively with light tints of fruits and malts. Finish: Lingering refreshing and sweet aftertaste. When matured, the tea acquires added earthy-floral olfactories, hinting chocolate and sweet tea biscuit, and delicate honey flavors.
Infusion tips
For better results, blanch the leaves before infusing at 95°C. A very forgiving tea even when over steeped, too much leaves or too hot water.

White Peony Classic Long, traditional white tea
Tea, White teas, Minnan/ Mindong, Fujian, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, Neutral-Cool EnergyZhenghe Mudan Wang
While White Peony from Fuding tastes more floral, that from the other earliest region, Zhenghe, tastes longer and deeper. The more tedious curing process is marked by the darker colors on the leaves. While many prize Silver Needle Supreme for its delicate taste and furry appearance, a superb traditional white tea as White Peony Classic Long delivers a more impressive taste experience. That may explain why this Mudan Wang, aka King of White Peony, is considered the best and most classical representation from the origin, and a favourite by many tea connoisseurs. As most aficionados prefer it, we have always matured this tea adequately before releasing it in the shop. The current stock is a single batch first flush ( i.e. pre-Qing-ming ) harvest from 2019.

Huangshan Maofeng Supreme, traditional green tea
Tea, Green teas, Huangshan & Anhui, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, Cool EnergyPre-Qingming Maofeng:
Huangshan (translate: Yellow Mountain) is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and a China national conservation. Besides beautiful sceneries, it is also the origin for many a fine teas, such as Huangshan Maofeng. The tender young leaf shoot to make Tea Hong's Huangshan Maofeng Supreme is always plucked with one or two tiny immediate leaves before Spring Equinoix, and always before Qing Ming. Always from the few small family tea farms in the high mountains that we buy from. It is a rare quality even in the market in Huangshan, and if you ever found it, would be at a much higher price. Working directly with producers is a principal at Tea Hong. While offering quality at a reasonable price is one immediate benefit that you as a consumer can enjoy, there are more important reasons and not so immediate results that we aim at. Your patronage means great support for our cause.

White Peony Zhenghe, traditional white tea

Those who prefer white tea as their daily drink but want a bit more stimulations in taste, White Peony from Zhenghe is a great choice. It is air withered for a longer duration from one of the two classic cultivars, Zhenghe Dabai. The resultant tea tastes slightly sharper and longer than white teas produced from the other classic, Fuding Dabai. White Peony Zhenghe is a fine tea that is most affordably priced.

At 1800 m elevation, the temperature difference between day and night can easily be over 15°C even on a hot summer day. That is deep in the mountains in He Song of the Bada region in Xishuangbanna. Leaves grow much slower here, accumulated in them a little bit more plant protein, and the rich minerals from the pristine mountain soils. We pick whole sun-withered leaves from these native tea trees to process and mature into our premium grade shu cha pu’er. Presenting Bada, possibly the richest, deepest, and yet roundest post-fermented tea there is.

White Peony Flips the Dial on Mass Marketing
A classic American TV commercial depicts three brothers at the breakfast table, pushing around a bowl to avoid eating the “healthy” cereal inside it. Finally, the youngest child takes a bite, then another. “He likes it! Hey Mikey!” his brothers exclaim.
A similar miracle happened when my ten-year-old son tried White Peony Classic Floral, a beverage that actually is good for him. This is a kid who would brush his teeth with root beer if I allowed it. Enter White Peony. OMG, he likes it! He says it’s sweet, though unbeknownst to him, it is pure with nothing added. Score another one for tea and deal another blow to the junk drink industry.
A good tea in office
Though its taste is rather simple compared to my favourite oolong phoenix teas, this white peony is easy to brew with tea mug, my only teaware in the office. I think it is quite an economic choice that I have it nearly daily.
The best white peony
I have bought White Peony from a number of shops and this is definitely the best in terms of taste, aroma and even appearance of the leaves! Before I found out this site, I had followed the instruction from other sources to use lower temperature water for steeping white peonies. Now I know they are all wrong! With 90C water the true taste of white peony can be so much more enjoyable! Thank you Tea Hong! Thank you Leo!
