The 2015 Sun-Dried White Peony White Tea, after nearly a decade of aging, stands out as a prized aged white tea. It not only carries the mellow essence developed over time but also becomes a coveted treasure among white tea enthusiasts due to the unique traits of White Peony leaves and the scarcity of well-preserved aged stock. Each sip lets you experience the distinctive charm born from the fusion of time and traditional sun-drying craftsmanship.

1. Nearly a Decade of Aging: The Rarity of Aged White Tea

Since 2015, nearly ten years have passed. White Peony, using “one bud with one or two leaves” as raw material, had limited yield even at the time of picking due to the crucial timing. After years of natural aging, high-quality aged tea that remains well-preserved is even scarcer — proper storage conditions and time have filtered out only a small quantity. Each batch of 2015 Sun-Dried White Peony is thus a precious gift from time, highlighting how rare aged white tea truly is.

2. Traditional Sun-Drying: A Foundation for Unique Flavor

This tea is crafted via traditional sun-drying, where leaves slowly dry in gentle sunlight, retaining the tea’s natural nutrients to the fullest. After nearly a decade of aging, the merits of sun-drying shine through: the tea gradually develops a rich aged aroma, along with a distinctive cocoa scent. This lays a solid base for layered aromas and flavors, setting it apart from white teas made with ordinary techniques.

3. Mellow and Smooth: A Delightful Aged Tea Experience

Dry tea leaves show buds and leaves intertwined, with white down and deep brown foliage — clear traces of time. When brewed, the tea soup turns a translucent amber, with aged fragrance, downy notes, and cocoa aroma blending together. Upon sipping, the soup is mellow and smooth without a hint of astringency, gliding over the tongue. A lasting, gentle sweetness follows, as if nearly ten years of time are condensed into one cup, offering the unique warmth and richness of aged white tea.

4. Perfect for Tasting and Collecting: A Timeless Value

Whether you brew a cup with a gaiwan during leisure time to unwind in the aged and cocoa scents, or collect it to watch it evolve into deeper flavors over time, the 2015 Sun-Dried White Peony White Tea is an excellent choice. It’s a fine tea to savor the taste of time now and a valuable collection that gains worth as years pass, carrying both drinking and collecting value.
