2018 Sun-Dried White Peony — Fuding Guanyang · Compressed Biscuit
This is a 2018 spring White Peony from Guanyang Town, one of the higher-elevation growing areas within Fuding — the heartland of Chinese white tea. The leaves are Fuding Dabai cultivar, processed the traditional way: spread outdoors under direct sun rather than dried indoors in a controlled environment.
Sun-drying runs warmer and faster than indoor withering. It pushes oxidation a little further, which tends to produce a thicker, darker, and sweeter cup than shade-withered white tea of the same age.
After six years of loose-leaf aging at the Yunwu Tea Factory, the material was compressed in 2023 into these small single-serving biscuits. By now the transformation is well along: the liquor pours a deep reddish amber, and the dominant note is a warm, dried-date sweetness with a clean, lingering finish. There's no bitterness, no astringency — just a mellow, full body that comes from time.
Each biscuit weighs around 4.2g and is sealed in its own wrapper. It fits in a pocket or a bag without any fuss, which makes it genuinely useful outside the house.
The tea meets Chinese national food safety standards (GB). There is no organic certification.

A note on this style of tea: Sun-dried aged white tea is still a relatively small category outside China. If you're new to it, think of it as sitting between a lightly aged pu-erh and a classic Fuding white tea — the patience of one, the sweetness of the other.
Curious how the same harvest tastes with a different process? Our 2018 Indoor-Withered White Peony comes from the same Guanyang spring 2018 harvest, withered slowly indoors rather than under the sun — the result is brighter, more floral, and gentler than this sun-dried version.
