For tea lovers, carrying tea while traveling is a gentle obsession. Some bring a full set of tea wares, while others prefer simplicity. In truth, fine tea needs no complicated setup. With the right portable tea, you can easily brew a warm, mellow cup during journeys, business trips, or office breaks.
Tongxin She Tea House is delighted to present our new arrival: 2016 Fuding Button White Tea Loquat Whisper · White Peony. We have enclosed nearly a decade of aged charm in these tiny button-shaped cakes, so tea fragrance can accompany you anytime, anywhere.
Fuding White Tea enjoys worldwide fame, and the high-mountain tea from Guanyang stands out as one of its finest representatives. As a core high-altitude tea region in Fuding, Guanyang has an average elevation of over 600 meters, with its highest peak exceeding 1,000 meters. Shrouded in mist year-round, blessed with abundant diffused light and great temperature differences between day and night, tea plants here grow slowly and develop rich inner substances.
White tea from this area carries a natural high-mountain freshness, with a sweet, full-bodied taste and a structured, layered liquor. It becomes even richer and mellower with time, making it deeply beloved by seasoned tea drinkers.
Like pu’er tea, white tea is famously known as:
“One year is tea, three years is medicine, seven years is treasure.”
Time is the perfect aging master. This 2016 White Peony has been carefully stored for nearly a decade, shedding the freshness of young tea and gradually developing soft herbal notes, elegant floral scents, and warm honey sweetness. It is now at its prime for tasting.
Carefully crafted from premium high-mountain tea leaves from Guanyang, Fuding, using traditional non-roasting and non-kneading techniques, this tea preserves the authentic flavor of the leaf.
It is sold neither as loose leaf nor as large compressed cakes. Instead, it is delicately made into 5g button-shaped mini cakes — round, compact, clean, and tightly pressed. Individually wrapped for hygiene, one cake makes one perfect brew, eliminating the trouble of breaking or weighing tea cakes. Truly, it is “portable tea” that takes almost no space.
• Year: 2016
• Origin: Guanyang High Mountain, Fuding
• Specification: 5g × 21 pieces per box
• Style: Button mini cake, portable and easy to brew
Unwrap the package, and you will find a lovely, neat button cake with a light honey fragrance. Pour boiling water into a gaiwan and steep for about one minute to let the leaves slowly unfurl.
The first two infusions release a gentle herbal aroma; from the third infusion onward, floral notes become more prominent. The liquor is apricot-yellow and bright, with a sweet, smooth, and full mouthfeel, combining silver needle fragrance and honey notes, with a long, soothing aftertaste.
A remarkable quality of White Peony is that it does not turn bitter even with long steeping — and this decade-aged button tea is no exception. It works beautifully in a gaiwan, zisha teapot, or glass cup. For travel or business trips, simply place one cake in a thermos. Even after long soaking, it remains sweet, soft, and gentle, allowing you to enjoy the warmth of aged white tea anytime.
Highly long-brewing, one piece can be steeped many times with stable, lasting flavor. It is ideal as daily tea and offers excellent value for money.
High mountains nurture refinement; time stores quiet fragrance.
The 2016 Loquat Whisper · White Peony is a gift from the misty mountains of Guanyang, a gentle deposit of ten years, and a portable treasure made for tea lovers.
No complicated tools needed, no matter where you are — one tiny button cake brings you the freshness of the mountains and the mellow sweetness of time, right in your hands.
Now available at Tongxin She Tea House.
