King Peony (Mudan Wang)

I CHEATED!!! Sorry, ORT. And after doing a comparison from 3 different boutique tea companies of this first flush 2026 King Peony from similar regions, this one is hands down my favorite! Thank you One River Tea for all your blood, sweat, and tears that go along with finding such a superior product. I could talk about the unrivaled sweetness or the melon and creamy green bean notes, but it’s already been said very well in all the other reviews. Bottom line, not only is this my favorite tea out of the ones I compared it against, but it’s my favorite tea out of my entire green collection this year. Enjoy!

Definitely a good tea, but priced quite a bit higher than the shoumeis, which is understandable. However, I actually prefer the green shoumei of the flower cracker over this. It’s a bit fruity and tenacious.

Best White Tea I've Ever Seen

I am amazed at this tea. Whole leaves, long silver hairs on the buds. The tea was a vibrant green. The liquid was honey colored and tasted as sweet. I was told this was the company for white teas, they proved it. Be aware, they ship from China directly, so it took a month to get. It was totally worth the wait. 100% I am now a customer!!!! Great job!
