FuJian FuDing special - grade Select Peony King, also known as White Peony Tea, is mainly produced in Zhenghe County, Songxi County, Jianyang City of Nanping City, and Fuding City of Ningde City in Fujian Province, China. It is a famous historical tea variety in Fujian.
The picking standards for special - grade Select Peony King are extremely strict. Only the tea buds and one or two extremely narrow and tender small leaves attached to them are selected. The leaves are as slender as willow leaves, with the bud heads larger than the leaves. They are densely covered with white down, and the silver - white downy cores are sandwiched among the green leaves, resembling flowers. Usually, it is one - bud - one - leaf, occasionally one - bud - two - leaves. After brewing, the green leaves support the tender buds. The taste is light, full of the downy aroma, and accompanied by the natural fresh flavors of wood, herbs, and rocks. Its main aroma is similar to the reed - like aroma of Baihao Yinzhen Tea, with a slight floral fragrance. The aroma is not highly variable but is long - lasting and stable.
