White Phoenix is a beautiful organic white tea from Yunnan, China — essentially a higher-quality White Peony style. The leaf is picked earlier and consists of young leaf with many buds (“needles”). It is dried in a traditional way with slower withering, allowing slight oxidation for a fuller, sweeter taste rather than a sharp “young” profile.
