White Peony

Spring 2023 vintage!
White Peony is made from very small buds and leaves that are plucked in early spring. The leaves are multi-colored, like autumn foliage, and have a bold taste with hints of oak, nut and vanilla. An apricot colored brew with delicate lingering fragrance and a fresh mellow sweet taste without astringency or grassy flavor.
Due to the voluminous nature of this tea, we recommend a 1st steep of 3 to 8 minutes for fullest flavor. Later infusions may be shorter. Experiment.
