Award-winning white tea with rich honey notes

Prepared by individually picking the best two leaves and a bud from tea trees in Fujian Province, the birthplace of white tea, this White Peony has won the Gold medal at the International White Tea Competition in China. 

Skilled tea masters processed the tea traditionally--sun-drying on bamboo trays--to naturally develop rich honey notes that can be aged for years to come. 

Expect the white tea cake to radiate intense chocolate and honey aroma with a lasting sweet finish.

Because White Peony is one of the is least processed teas, it is rich in various appalling benefits:

✓ Boosts immunity
✓ Regulates cholesterol levels
✓ Promotes healthy heart function
✓ Promotes healthy metabolism
✓ Reduces risk of inflammation

Western Brewing: Portion out 2-3 grams of tea for 12 fl oz water, and brew at 200-212°F for 3 minutes using your favorite infuser. Re-steep up to 3 times.

Gongfu Brewing: Portion out 3-5 grams of tea for 4 fl oz of water, and brew at 212°F for 30-60 seconds using a Gaiwan or a Yixing teapot. Re-steep up to 5-7 times.

All teas from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant contain naturally-occurring caffeine, and our White Peony tea has high caffeine content as teas that contain buds and/or very young leaves contain a higher level of caffeine. If you want to lessen caffeine consumption, we recommend brewing with less tea or trying our naturally caffeine-free tisanes, such as Snow Chrysanthemum.

    Lovely flavor, excellent customer service

    The flavor of the tea is delicate and floral, but more full bodied than expected of a white tea. I was having trouble with shipping and customer service was so friendly and helpful.

    A good Tea

    It's a natural tea that has a soothing flavor to it, which is not too sweet but more "natural-like". It would be best to have something like this to relax because it helps with that a lot. I haven't tried too many teas because I have just started but this is a very nice tea to have in your collection.

    Light and floral!

    This is a wonderfully delicate and floral tea. I love having it in the afternoon as a nice pick-me-up. Well worth the investment.

    Surprising thickness to the mouthfeel

    It's got some surprising thickness to the mouthfeel, and the flavor reminds me a lot of the smell of hay on a hot prairie summer day, and clover - LOTS of clover!

    (would give 4.5, but the system doesn't allow half ratings)

    Lovely Tea

    Unlike other white teas, this one is very mild. It is smooth without bitterness. Lovely tea to serve with friends.

    Tasted the High quality!

    Since I taken several tea workshops with Mansa I can start to distinguish the quality of tea leaves from the source. This tea was smooth & fragrant. I only get my tea leaves from Mansa now!
