Bloom · White Peony (2025)
Product details
From Fujian’s early spring harvest, Bloom mini cake is crafted from one-bud-one-leaf White Peony tea, a variety named for its resemblance to a blooming flower — each bud and leaf gently embracing like petals. Each mini cake reveals intact buds and leaves, a true mark of authenticity and artisanal care.
As the leaves unfurl, they release a light yellow liquor glowing with freshness and vitality — smooth, lightly floral, and naturally sweet. This is a tea of quiet strength and renewal — the calm confidence of someone who has walked through challenges and now blooms into their best self. A celebration of balance, self-love, and everyday beauty.
Available in two formats:
-
100g / 3.5 oz bag · approx. 16 mini cakes for daily enjoyment (Each tea cake is handmade. Slight weight variations may occur due to the artisanal process.)
-
Sampler tin · 2 mini cakes, perfect for tasting or easy enjoyment anywhere

- Use fresh spring or filtered water for the best flavor.
- Water temperature: cooler for green/white (185–195°F | 85–90°C), hotter for black & Pu’er (200–212°F | 95–100°C).
- Start with 1–2 tsp (or 1 piece) per 6–8 oz cup.
- (Optional) Quick rinse (5 sec) to “wake up” the leaves before the first brew.
- Steep to taste (1-5 min) — shorter for lighter flavor, longer for stronger.
- Quality teas can be re-steeped several times, each cup revealing new character.
- Compressed teas (tea cakes, balls, etc.), white tea, and ripe Pu’er can be brewed longer or gently simmered to unfold deeper layers.
- Keep tea away from light, moisture, and strong odors.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Many teas, especially white and Pu’er, develop beautifully with age.
