White Peony

This fresh white tea, sourced from the mist-enveloped, mountainous terrains of Fuding, China's premier region for white tea, embodies the essence of its origin. Known for its multi-layered complexity, it features a one-bud and two-leaves plucking that unfurl as they infuse, resembling that of a white peony flower.

Cultivated in high-altitude tea gardens at elevations ranging from 800-900 meters, the tender one-bud two-leaves composition have been handplucked in spring from young tea bushes and withered under natural sunlight—a minimal yet careful processing that preserves the tea's delicate flavors.

Crafted directly at the source amid the fresh mountain fog and sea breezes, this tea is organic and thus free from synthetic additives, offering a pure infusion that reveals hints of hay, honey, and baked bread, true to a white peony.

It is perfect for serene mornings, when the mood is for a refreshingly complex yet subtle flavor experience.

Additional Information

Black tea production

White tea

The production of white tea involves several distinct phases, each critical to developing the tea's unique flavor, color, and aroma:

  • Withering: Freshly picked tea leaves are spread out to wilt and lose moisture, making them pliable and enhancing their natural sweetness.
  • Heating (optional): Some white teas may undergo a light heating process to halt enzymatic activity and preserve their green color and fresh flavor.
  • Shaping (optional): Leaves may be rolled or formed into specific shapes to enhance their aesthetic appeal and influence flavor release upon brewing.
  • Drying: The leaves are carefully dried through natural sun-drying or gentle baking, reducing moisture content and preserving the delicate flavors.

Each step is meticulously controlled to achieve the desired quality and characteristics of the finished white tea.

Organic certification

Organic certification and testing

All our teas are organic certified and tested for pesticides, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. We steadfastly reject the use of artificial flavors and concentrated aromas. Our approach to creating flavored and blended teas is deeply intentional, involving the in-house selection and combination of each ingredient. Our commitment extends to using only organically certified, whole spices, deliberately avoiding grinding them into fine powders. This choice ensures our teas remain pure and clear, as finely ground spices can release excessive power into the brew, compromising its clarity. The essence of our fruit flavors comes from organic essential oils, obtained through cold press technology to preserve the natural qualities without the degradation that can occur with heat. Proudly, every ingredient in Nannuo Pop is organically certified, embodying our unwavering commitment to purity and quality, without exceptions. This commitment to quality and safety reflects our dedication to providing the best possible product to our customers, with a focus on health and environmental sustainability.
