Peony White Needle Tea is the top grade available and very rare - hence its high cost. You will see two intact grayish white leaves that surround a silver bud. The two leaves and a bud that adhere to the stem in a uniform manner are covered with a silvery white down.These leaves must show a very light green almost gray white color and be covered with velvet peach fuzz down. The ideal is a leaf or two being wrapped around a newly developing shoot. These shoots are plucked and segregated from the rest of the leaf being plucked. These leaves are then naturally withered and the painstaking process of manual selection occurs. These are the rules for picking Peony White Tea:
- Not picked on rainy days
- Not picked if there is dew or frost present
- Purple buds are not allowed
- Leaves damaged by wind, handling, insects or partially open are rejected and put into a lower grade.  |
