White Peony Tieguanyin Baicha – Oolong Cultivar Crafted as White Tea

White Peony Tieguanyin Baicha brings two Fujian classics together in one extraordinary cup. What happens when you take the legendary Hongxin (Red Heart) Tieguanyin cultivar — famous for making China's most beloved oolong — and process it with the gentle, sun-withered techniques of a traditional white tea? You get this truly unique tea.

Unlike traditional White Peonies (Bai Mu Dan) from Fuding, this special batch hails from Anxi County. By harvesting tender spring leaves — one bud and two leaves — in mid-April, tea masters Zhang Shuiquan and Zhang Qingjian have created a tea that defies categorization. The natural air-drying process preserves an incredibly smooth, soft body, while the Tieguanyin genetics provide a structural richness often missing in delicate white teas.
