About Plum Blossom
Plum Blossom is a type of plum flower belonging to the Rosaceae family and the Prunus genus. It blooms while the leaves have already fallen, displaying colors ranging from pale purple and pink to rose pink. The flowers are double-petaled with thin, paper-like petals. Unlike Wintersweet, the petals of Plum Blossom feel soft and fluffy, resembling small roses that bloom on the branches.
The blooming of Plum Blossom each year signifies the approach of the snowy season. An ancient Chinese poem describes the Plum Blossom beautifully: “In the snow, I already know that spring is on its way; the cold plum blossoms adorn the jade-like branches.” The ancient Chinese referred to the enjoyment of plum blossoms as "Plum Viewing," the flowers' shape was a focal point of ancient aesthetic appreciation, with the rugged, gnarled branches favored by traditional painters.
Plum Blossom is a traditional Chinese flower with a history of over three thousand years. Its fragrance is delicate rather than overpowering, full of grace, combining sweetness with a subtle bitterness akin to almonds, making it worthy of careful tasting.

About White Tea
We chose high-altitude white peony tea from Zhenghe County, Fujian Province, harvested in 2024 for Plum Blossom tea. The white tea leaves are carefully hand-picked according to the one bud and one or two leaves standard, with rich white fuzz on plants and a refreshing taste.
White tea, particularly Fujian white tea, possesses significant aging potential. Over time, the flavor of different types of white tea will change, and the flavor of white peony tea will become more mellow as the tea leaves naturally interact with the air.
Young white tea leaves have a floral aroma and a fresh taste. Over time, this freshness changes into a sweet, syrupy flavor. It reminds you of dates, honey, or candied fruits.
