Organic White Peony

White Tea by The Boston Tea Company

Fragrant peonies, used in Chinese art, symbolically mean flower of riches and honor. Therefore, its only fitting that such regarded flowers blend with our delicate, rare 100% organic white tea from the Fujian province of China, where the leaves are plucked only in early Spring when the Camellia Sinensis plant produces very small buds. A subtle floral flavor adds to this fine tea for a soothingly elegant cupful.

This is a solid white tea. Just a nice solid white tea. The leaf smells lovely and fruity. Once brewed, the aroma of this tea is sweet and slightly grassy, It brews up to a golden liquor; a really pretty cup. The flavor is pleasantly hay-like, and very mellow, but the aromas don’t arrive on the tongue. There are no outstanding high notes, but nothing distracting either. It does have a base-line sweetness to it, and overall, it’s just really pleasant. I don’t know how typical or representative of a White Peony this tea is, but it’s good and would compliment a number of sweet treats or an afternoon sitting and reading.
