White Peony is made from the top two leaves and a bud of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is a slightly stronger tea than Silver Needle, with a more robust flavor. White Peony has a slightly nutty taste with a hint of honey and a floral aroma.

When we think of tea, we often picture a steaming cup of black tea or fragrant green tea. But have you ever tried white tea?

What is White Tea?
White tea is a type of tea that has undergone minimal processing. Unlike black tea or green tea, which are heated, rolled, and oxidized, white tea is simply withered and dried. As a result, white tea has a delicate, subtle flavor and lighter color than other teas.

White tea originated in China's Fujian province and has been produced since the Tang dynasty (618-907 AD). Today, white tea is grown in several countries, including China, India, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

White tea is made from the young leaves and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant, which is the same plant used to make other types of tea. However, the leaves used to make white tea are picked before they are fully open and are still covered in fine white hairs, which give the tea its name.

A benefit of white tea is that it contains less caffeine than other types of tea, making it a good choice for those who are sensitive to caffeine or who want to limit their caffeine intake. Additionally, because white tea is so delicate, it is often brewed at a lower temperature and for a shorter amount of time than other teas, which can help preserve its flavor and nutritional benefits.

Overall, white tea is a unique and delicious type of tea. Whether you're a tea connoisseur or just looking to try something new, white tea is definitely worth exploring.
