    Peony Queen N°18 is an extraordinary, hand-rolled oolong, made uniquely from the most precious violet buds of Qing-Hshin varietal, a historical varietal that gives the tea an incredible depth of character and complex aroma. Through a special withering and tossing procedure, this oolong has a similar identity to the finest Wuyi rock tea from Fujian, while a noble note of saffron makes this tea simply unforgettable.
    There are three teas in our collection which are made from the violet buds of Qing-Hshin varietal: the black tea N°9 Petite Lune, the white tea N°17 Spring Floret and the oolong tea N°18 Peony Queen. It is highly interesting to get an impression of how much the taste of tea varies through the different techniques and methods.
