Taiji White Peony: Harmony in Every Cup
Taiji White Peony is not just tea, it is a philosophy contained in each cup. The name of this unique drink echoes the ancient Chinese concept of Taiji – a symbol of the unity of opposites, harmony and endless movement. And this is no coincidence, because these are the qualities that reflect the essence of this tea.
The following key points can be highlighted on the packaging:
- The name in Chinese is "丹意" (Dānyì). The translation of this name can vary depending on the context, but it is often interpreted as "the art of Dan" or "the idea of Dan". "Dana" in Chinese culture can have various meanings related to alchemy, Taoism, and other philosophical concepts.
- An additional name is "白牡丹" (Bái mǔdān), which translates as "white peony". This refers to the type of white tea used in this product. White peony is considered one of the most valuable types of white tea and is prized for its delicate flavor and aroma.
- English name: "TAIJI WHITE PEONIES". This is a transliteration of the Chinese name and confirms that the tea is white peony. "Taiji" may be a reference to taijiquan, an ancient Chinese exercise system, or to the broader concept of taiji, meaning "great ultimate", "original principle".
What is Taiji White Peony?
White Peony (Chinese: 白牡丹, pinyin: Bái mǔdān) is one of the most prized varieties of white tea. It is made from young, unopened buds and the first two leaves of the tea bush. White Peony is prized for its delicate, sweet taste and subtle floral aroma.
