Pure Leaf TeasUSDA OrganicBrews 60 CupsCertified Organic by QAIThe Tao of Tea Like the Tao, the art of tea is universal. We began our work serving as a connecting thread for tea culture in 1997. Practicing this art on a daily basis in our teahouses in Portland, Oregon, we are a group of tea enthusiasts from different backgrounds and cultures. We travel, learn, take delight, and seek to offer pure leaf teas with great flavor, artistry and soul.Origin - Fujian, ChinaAlso known as 'Bai Mudan', White Peony is a popular white tea of Fujian.White TeaWhite teas are made only from the newly sprouted buds and young leaves of the tea plant. The leaf hair or 'down' on these leaves provides a honey texture to the brew. FujianFujian Province is situated along China's southeastern coast. Fujian's subtropical, marine climate is especially conducive to tea cultivation. The province has a 1,600 year history with tea. The earliest written record of tea production in Fujian is kept on a stone tablet at the 'Lian Hua Feng' (Lotus Peak) in Nan'an County.SeasonWhite Peony is made in early summer. This is the optimal time when leaves have their distinct white hair characteristic of white teas. Flavor ProfileDelicate, herbaceous, autumnal aroma with a very smooth, sweet, nutty flavor.
