High quality Decaffeinated White Peony Whie Tea
Introduction of White Tea (Bai Cha)
White tea is a mild, sweet and fresh tea, that comes from a very healthy and rarer variety of the same plant as green tea (Camellia sinensis). It is produced mainly in the Fujian province of China and only consists of the most tender
leaf buds that are covered in silvery, down-covered hairs. These leaves can only be picked during 3 days of every year in early spring.
Containing up to three times as many antioxidants as green tea, this least-processed tea is the healthiest tea of all teas.It has a mild and sweet flavor that is velvet-like in smoothness, and has none of the grass-like flavors some green teas can produce.
White tea is a lightly oxidized tea.The leaves and buds are allowed to wither in natural sunlight before they are lightly processed to prevent oxidation or further tea processing.
The name "white tea" derives from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant, which gives the plant a whitish appearance.The beverage itself is not white or colourless but pale yellow.
White Peony White Tea Brief Introduction:
White peony is a slightly fermented white tea and the second grade of white tea after Silver Needle white tea.
The reason it is called peony is that after brewing, the elegant shape of one bud with green leaves resembles a
newly-open peony bud.
White Peony was created during 1922 in Jishui, Jianyang city in Fujian; later, Fuding & Zhenghe started to produce
White peony and become the main production areas.
Since the White Peony is made from one bud with two leaves, its fragrance contains more floral aroma, but not as
delicate as the Silver Needle; its taste is fuller than Silver needle, but comparatively coarse.
Since it is lightly-fermented tea, it can be aged naturally. So its taste and aroma is quite different from the fresh white tea.

Tips for drinking White tea
Brew 3-5 Minutes In Very Hot Water
Like green tea, white tea is best brewed with pure water that is very hot, but not boiling. For stronger flavor, steep for a few minutes longer. Use 2 teaspoons of loose-leaf tea per cup.
Drink 2-4 Cups Of White Tea Daily
Studies show that 2 to 4 cups of white tea a day yield greater health benefits than only one cup. To stretch your tea supply and your money, simply resteep the leaves once or twice to extract all the nutrients.
When reusing tea leaves, brew for several minutes longer than the first steeping.
