About Golden Peony Black Tea

Golden Peony (Jin Mudan) is an innovative, high-quality black tea variety. While processed as a black tea, its creation famously borrows the yaoqing (bruising/shaking) technique traditionally reserved for Oolong tea production. This hybrid crafting method gently bruises the edges of the leaves before full oxidation, dramatically unleashing the tea’s natural, complex floral aroma compounds.

The cultivar officially passed China's rigorous national evaluation in 2010, cementing its status as an elite, certified national tea plant variety. It represents a perfect marriage of traditional black tea sweetness and Oolong-style aromatic brilliance.

Discover the floral side of black tea with TimeBai Golden Peony. Sourced from Nanping, Fujian, this tea is made from Jin Mu Dan—a tea cultivar developed from Tie Guan Yin and Huang Dan, two varieties closely associated with Fujian’s oolong tradition.

Crafted as a black tea, Jin Mu Dan reveals a distinctive balance of fragrance and depth. Expressive floral aromas rise above a smooth, rounded cup, while honey-like sweetness brings warmth and richness to each sip. The result is an aromatic black tea with the floral complexity that oolong lovers may recognize.

“Golden Peony” is the translated name of the cultivar, rather than an added floral ingredient. Its fragrant character comes from the tea leaves and how they are processed.

Enjoy it on its own to appreciate its layers, or alongside a buttery biscuit or light pastry. Each tin contains 80 g of loose leaf tea for an aromatic everyday ritual or a thoughtful gift.

Jin Mu Dan is a signature cultivar of Shouning, prized for its expressive floral and fruity character. Crafted as a black tea, it reveals layered floral aromas and peach-like notes in a sweet, silky cup, followed by a gentle, lingering sweetness.
