Yet another oddball white2tea processing adventure. Our 2024 Dark Peony is a Yunnan tea produced at our behest with a sort of combination between Fujian white tea style processing with the addition of oxidation that mimics an aged white or black tea.
Dark Peony has a complex aromatic profile that lilts between the brighter tones of a fresh white tea and the deeper ripe stone fruits of a black tea. The soup's character is somewhere in between sharp and soft, with a playful little dancing between personalities that make it both engaging and difficult to pin down.
Each mini is ~7g.
