Select, early-pick organically grown leaves and silver buds offer nuanced tastes and spring's freshness. We chose to mill the leaves minimally to preserve the integrity of the leaf and better preserve its sweet, natural flavors. We purchase a high-grade organic White Peony grown in the Fuding area of Fujian Province. The leaves will steep to a clean, straw-colored liquor, offering subtle notes of melon and herbs. Cultivar producing this tea is famous for its delicate sweet flavor.
Our sachets are made of biodegradable non-GMO corn silk.
White Peony is wonderful as an afternoon refresher and always great with food or sweets.
These elegant sachets are perfect for the traveler or a relaxing cup anytime. Use one sachet per 8 ounces of water at a temperature of 195-205F. Steep for 2-3 minutes and enjoy. Sachet will steep multiple times!

White Tea
Add 30 seconds for each successive steep — flavors evolve.
White teas are produced in a brief window of time in the spring. The best whites are prized as they consist entirely of sweet buds. These teas are minimally processed in two steps – withering and drying.
Steeped white tea is delicate, extremely refreshing, and considered to contain less caffeine. The leaves will open to fresh floral, herbaceous, naturally sweet, and honey-like flavors. A stronger cup can be attained by extending the steep time.
