As one of the six major types of tea in China, white tea is a kind of tea we often drink. Fuding white tea is divided into three types according to the picking specifications: Baihao Yinzhen, Bai Peony, and Shoumei.
White peony is a more vivid statement. As the name suggests, it means that two leaves can be seen after the tea is brewed, and it looks like the buds are just opening, so it is called "white peony" vividly. A good peony has a plump, plump shape, and natural leaves. In loose tea, more than half of the silver needles can be seen, and the pekoe is exposed. The leaves are small and tender, dark green and fragrant. The fresh leaves of white peony are very high. The buds have one leaf or one bud and two leaves, and the buds and leaf buds are required to have white hairs. Traditional craftsmanship requires sunlight withering, indoor withering, stacking and drying. Each link is meticulously worked and just right to produce good quality.
The white tea recommended by Tongxinshe Teahouse today comes from the high-quality ecological tea garden in Taimu Mountain, the birthplace of white tea, at an altitude of 650 meters.
