Peony White Tea Dragon Ball · Silver Needle as Core · Rich Color and Graceful Rhythm 

Key Features
Premium White Hair Needle Tea Base: Select high-quality White Hair Needle from Fuding for the core, manually rolled into shape. Each piece contains rich hair fragrance and honey notes.
Peony Spirit Infusion: Infuse with dried peony flowers of high petal count at low temperature for a slow infusion process. The natural beauty of the peony flowers permeates the core of the White Hair Needle tea, presenting a delicate and elegant floral aroma that blends seamlessly with the original aroma of the white tea.
One Pearl, One Realm: Traditional hand-rolled pearl technique, compact and round, locks in the tea's active properties while adding an entertaining aspect to the brewing process - watch the dragon pearl slowly bloom in the water, like the blooming of a peony flower. 

Flavor Tasting
Dried Tea: The dragon pearls are round and full, covered with silver hairs. The color is silver-gray with hints of greenish-blue. Occasionally, dark red petals of peonies are scattered among them, resembling pearls and jade.
Warm Fragrance: Shake the cup to release the aroma. The delicate fragrance of peonies comes first, followed by the honey-like aroma of the white tea hairs. The aroma is distinct in layers and blends seamlessly.
Tea Soup Color: The first infusion is light apricot yellow, gradually turning into amber gold. It is clear and transparent, with the tea hairs floating like a galaxy.
Taste: On the palate, it is fresh and sweet. The fragrance of peonies spreads gently in the mouth. In the middle section, the richness of the white tea is revealed, with a honey sweetness and aftertaste. The lingering finish is clear and long-lasting, and the floral and tea aroma lingers for a long time. 

Bottom of the leaf: The bottom of the leaf is robust and vibrant, with intact bud heads that are still plump and upright. The petals of the peony remain soft and beautiful. 

Brewing Suggestions
Tea Set: A white porcelain covered bowl is ideal as it facilitates smelling the aroma and observing the color; a glass teapot for brewing tea is also an option, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of "the dragon pearl breathing and the peony blooming".
Water Temperature: 92-96℃, mountain spring water or purified water. Higher temperatures can better stimulate the inner quality of the silver needle and the elegant fragrance of the peony. 

Infusion rhythm:
Warming the tea: Pour water at 95℃ along the rim of the cup gently, allowing the tea ball to submerge and release the tea. Smell the cold fragrance at the bottom of the cup.
First infusion: Release the tea after 15 seconds. Experience the delicate floral aroma.
2-4 infusions: Each infusion lasts for an additional 5 seconds. The tea flavor becomes stronger, and the floral aroma permeates the water.
After the 5th infusion: You can optionally let it steep for a while or simmer it over low heat. The sweet and mellow flavor becomes more prominent.
Tasting tips: For the first few infusions, savor the delicate floral fragrance. For the later infusions, experience the rich tea quality. One tea ball can be enjoyed throughout the day. 

Rare Attributes
The peony flower has a short blooming period, and the timing for steaming is precious. The raw material for the silver needle tea is already scarce, and the process of hand-rolling the beads requires a lot of time and resources. This tea should be picked and steamed during the peak blooming season of the peony in spring. During the steaming process, the temperature and humidity are strictly controlled to allow the floral fragrance to naturally permeate without overpowering the original flavor of the tea. Each batch has a limited production, and it can be regarded as "an enjoyable Eastern elegance".
