★★★☆☆

kind of bland,,,better with real honey ,but still not a recommend.

★★★★★

I love this tea!! It's very delicate and calming for me. I like the floral notes as I enjoy floral teas (jasmine is my all time favorite though). It has an enjoyable light melon taste to it. Delicious hot or cold!

★★★★☆

Good tasting and I love it! I feel good and relaxed tea!

5 min steep · 75°F

★★★★☆

I was hoping for a more floral flavor (I guess by the name, though I'm thinking it was not meant to be), so overall was still very good. Nice light flavor.

★★★★☆

My first white tea, so I don't have a lot to compare it with. It's got a very delicate flavor, with a very slight spice to it. Not one of the teas I reach for first, but it's nice for a late-night tea break.

★★★★☆

I enjoyed this nice white tea with light floral notes.

★★★★☆

Its a nice delicate white tea, with a very faint floral flavor and smell. Good when you just want something with low caffeine and mild flavor.

★★★☆☆

Not a big fan. It's a very dull tea. Smells great but simply not good enough on its own for me personally. Adding a little sweet or spice to it helps

★★★★★

Lightly floral, it's an absolutely wonderful tea. I would definitely reorder.

★★★★★

Tastes lovely and complex, and it stands up to resteeping very well.

★★★☆☆

I'm undecided about this tea. I had a tea party and several of my guests enjoyed it.

★★★☆☆

This is only the second white tea I have ever tried, but I have to say it wasn't particularly flavorful, even after I manipulated the steep time. I really prefer jasmine silver needle to this one.

★★★★★

~Light and refreshing. Liked more than silver needle. Good with a squeeze of lemon and honey. Try blending with some jade snail or even hoijicha, but steep a little less time.

★★★★★

Light clean white tea flavor. Very enjoyable and can't be oversteeped.

★★★☆☆

my first order or perhaps the previous order of this white tea was of a much higher quality it had a wonderful aroma and tasted great. the current white peony Adagio has i really do not recommend.

★★☆☆☆

Maybe white tea is just not my thing. The ones I've tried so far either have no flavor or make me feel like I'm drinking perfume.

★★★☆☆

very mild This us a great tea for after dinner.

5 min steep · 80°F

★★★★☆

This is my first white tea I've had. Honestly I can't taste much more than hot water, but I do detect a sweet note. It's not bad but I don't think it will be a staple for me.

★★★★☆

The White Peony tea is very light. I like to mix it with herbal teas or I use it as the liquid when making smoothies.

★★★★☆

Very nice light tea, especially for iced tea. My wife enjoyed it hot as well.

I have been drinking white peony, or Pai Mu Tan for a very long time. And it keeps being one of my favorites. Excellent white tea.

★★★★★

A great cheap alternative to some of the classier white teas. I feel like the brightness and mouthfeel of something like a silver needle tea is matched here, but without the smokiness that comes from those higher quality teas. Will definitely buy again.

★★☆☆☆

Ok so I rarely hate a tea, but this just didn't suit my tastes at all. I was trying new white teas and this was the best price point so I started here. I am really disappointed because it is the base used for the flavored white teas (white peach, white pear, etc.) and I tried to like those as well but the base flavor comes through too strongly. I think I brewed it correctly but the flavor is somewhat bitter and there is a bad aftertaste. It has a pretty high rating, so maybe it's just me. Fortunately I found a favorite with White Symphony, well worth the few cents extra per cup!

★★★☆☆

Much lighter and not as flavorful as I expected. Will be playing around with amounts of tea and time steeping to see if I can't make it stronger.

5 min steep · 200°F

★★★★☆

Great standard white tea when you need something light.

★★★☆☆

Mild. not my type, as I prefer strong, bold teas. .

★★★★★

Is it possible for a tea to taste clean? Because that's the only way I can describe this.
Light and crisp and refreshing. It taste pure and... I just felt good drinking it.

★★★★☆

Not a strong flavor, easily masked by sugar and milk. I use a bit more than the label recommends and it turns out pretty good.

4 min steep · 180°F

★★★★★

A light delightful white tea. I especially like it with a hint of lavender.

★★★★★

Since it has a very mild flavor this is usually my first cup of tea in the morning. It is for a refined palete, and I truly enjoy how the flavors and aromas change as the cup cools.

4 min steep · 190°F

★★★☆☆

This was a bit weak for me on the first cup and so I added more for my next cup. Still was too weak for me.

★★★★★

Really good flavor! I served it hot without any milk, and just a little sugar. My friend first let me try this blend before I ordered it and I fell in love.

It's a really good tea to try when you're first trying out white teas. It's not over powering like some other blends, and it's still has quite a bit of flavor to it, and not at all flowery tasting.

I'd really suggest this tea to anyone.

★★★★★

Delicious white tea and a cheaper but still great option for the pure white tea enthusiasts who prefer just the tea leaves to having flavors added.

★★★★★

This is my favorite white tea. It is very light..

★★★★★

Delicate, sweet, all around perfect white tea for a morning cup - or for any time of the day, really. Worth every cent to me.

★★★★☆

White Peony has a sweet mineral taste. Strong in flavor when compared to Silver Needle or White Symphony. Good basic white tea.

★★★★★

I like the flavor of this tea, it is subtle yet distinct in its flavor.

★★★★☆

This tea was pretty good. A sweet floral aroma and taste. However it was almost brown in color, so you can tell its on the cheap end as far as white tea goes. However, comparing it was so affordable, it was pretty good.

★★★★★

This tea is really quite great, It tastes like melon and needs no sugar or honey to be enjoyed, in fact its better without it as it is a light tea that is easily overpowered.

I'm finding white teas a bit grassy to my liking and this was no different. Not great but not awful.

★★★☆☆

I'm less a fan now of the flavored teas. The aroma and taste are a bit too much.

★☆☆☆☆

I had the worst experience with white peony. It is white tea but it reminded me more of black tea.

★★★★☆

This is nice. It's clean and refereshing. A good one to start a lazy day with.

★★★★★

This has a gentle, but flavorful taste. It reminds me of the chrysanthemum tea I get at my favorite Vietnamese restaurant.

★★★☆☆

This is a good white peony, its very soft and has subtle taste. Refreshing and relaxing at the same time. Love it.

★★★★☆

Only the second white tea I've ever tried, and I like this one a lot. Very subtle, but there are times when that's a good thing. Will reorder, for sure.
