★★★★☆
I love white teas because they always seem to be a bit more crisp than others, but this one is a little on the mellow side for me. I love florals, so it's a win, and I'd probably order again for a really relaxing day.
White tea from Fujian, China. White Peony, also known as Pai Mu Tan, is a sweet, mild tea made from unopened tea buds, as well as the two newest leaves to sprout. Warm and floral like fruit blossoms. Golden liquor, succulent floral-fruit flavor.

A milder version of jasmine tea - clean and bright. Great for springtime!
I love white tea. I love this so much. I love to use it to cut other white fruit teas.
I found this to be a very mild and supple white with very little astringency. The texture is unctuous, mellow, and round. As far as flavors go, I pick up a sustained note of licorice root with a barely perceptible sweet floral element that surfaces briefly. Unfortunately, it is all very short as the aroma and savors quickly fade leaving a pretty poor finish for this peony.
I have been drinking this white peony tea from Adagio for over 10 years. There are no surprises with this tea. It produces a clear and clean liquid, and can be brewed multiple times. I would suggest experimenting with times to find the flavor profile that fits you. Also, if you are new to white tea, I would try samples of this and the silver needle to get a basic flavor profile of white teas.
This is my first time trying white teas I really like it! It has a subtle flavor, but comes out nicely with just a hint of honey. The flavor of this tea is a little more bold than the silver needle which I ordered at the same time.
This tea I can only describe as simple beauty and elegance. It has a wonderful fragrance and a smooth flavor that is delicate and wonderful!
I bought this tea mainly for my mother, who has been in search of a simple white tea without additional flavoring (she doesn't like 'fruity' teas). This tea has a light gentle flavor, and my mother seems to be enjoying it. It's not my favorite ever, but I like more robust flavors myself, and this one wasn't intended for me, so it's all good.
Solid white peony. Still the only tea I can drink hot in the summer time and be comfortable.
Reminded me of the pots of tea in nice Chinese resteraunts. I loved it so much I ordered a bigger bag.
A good every day tea to enjoy. Light flavor with a very clean taste.
A slightly more full-bodied white tea. I struggled to identify the peony flavors though.
Light, refreshing, a perfect white tea. Like a haiku in tea-form.
This is a very subtle, serious sort of tea. Not exactly my favorite, but it's very relaxing.
mild, nice flavor, refreshing. reminiscent of more expensive white teas
its light probably a bit light for my taste but was good none the less.
I'm not really into the floral-y kinds of teas but I did give it a shot. I don't have anything to compare to honestly, so it was OK.
Surprisingly, this tea was not as floral as I thought it would but I still enjoyed it. I didn't add any sugar or honey to it. The taste was very light, smooth with a very soft spinachy taste. I'd drink this tea every day. I was impressed and pleased and I'll likely buy it again.
White peony is one of my favorite teas. I like its subtle sweet, fruit-like flavor. This tea is well worth a try.
I normally prefer a more robust cup of tea, but I enjoyed this very much.
This has become my family's favorite tea. It is sweet and smooth, and as I have discovered, it is very forgiving about oversteeping. Really a delicious tea!
This tea is delicious. I haven't explored white teas nearly as much as I have other types, and I was attracted to this one by the name (peonies are my favorite flower.) I didn't really expect it would smell like them, but one sniff of a freshly brewed cup and that is exactly what comes to mind. It is delicate and floral and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
refreshing, good every-day tea. mild as well so you can drink it all the time
I feel so special when I drink this tea. I usually add ice. Refreshing!
Similar to Silver Needle, except the first brew is not as good. BUT, the second brew, for some reason, is AWESOME! It's almost a whole different white tea after the first brew. Very good, and for my budget I would buy this over silver needle.
Lovely taste and good buy. Would recommend and purchase again
It's a very light tea, but there's something about it that I like. It'll probably be good in a blend.
I rated this OK but it is close to GOOD. It just seems quite average to me, really.
I hate to do it, but I do judge teas by their type, and I very much knew going in that I don't really care for white teas. BUT- I also like to get out of my comfort zone because maybe I'll find something I love that I won't expect. That's what happened with Tiger Eye flavour here, anyway. So, I ordered this knowing that I wouldn't like it most probably.
Unfortunately this lived up to my expectations. the smell is okay, the flavour is... lack-lustre in my opinion. I don't really know what else to add to this because it didn't leave much of an impression on me. If you have a tongue for whites (teas, not wines, mind you), this may be up your alley. If you're adventurous in the white tea direction, this is a safe, albeit reserved option. Good luck!
A nice light tea for beginners. Very refreshing. I enjoyed this tea
This is my go-to white tea for winding down in the evenings. It's smooth and uplifting, and surprisingly full-flavored for a white tea.
Not complex, but a solid white tea. Light, tart, and lightly floral/fruity
I like my tea a little on the stronger side, so I was a bit hesitant to try a white tea. The taste is pretty mild, but I did not feel at all like it was bland. It has a very light taste that is somewhat sweet. I highly recommend trying it.
Not too big of a fan of this tea, but it goes well in blends because it gives the tea a mysterious taste to it that is hard to figure out but is refreshing and very flavorful.
This is a very crisp and clean tea. Smooth, and refreshing. Would be the perfect spring tea.
A fairly 'green' white tea. Slightly mineral, like a dark oolong.
Very aromatic, light flavor. Tastes of... Flowers, I want to say? A delightfully calming tea.
Absolutely okay. Drinkable, in the event of tea shortage ... or something ...
This is a solid white tea. I can't say it is my favorite with the floral element but if it is to your taste you can be assured that it is clearly of fine quality.
A very nice white tea, slightly floral and gently sweet with just a hint of bitterness at the end. Stronger and more complex than most white teas I've tasted previously.
Perfectly fine but nothing special. I didn't find that the taste distinguished it much from other white floral teas - wasn't strong enough to. However, I'm fairly so-so on white teas overall, so my fairly lukewarm feeling toward this tea may be due to that.
very pleasant and smooth, it has the flavor of white tea with some fruity/floral characteristics as well. I found it to taste more fruity than floral.
It may just come from inexperience, but I don't really know how to review a floral tea this light. It is exceptionally soft and comforting, and a good solid white tea. I hope that is enough.
Smooth and light, perfect for before bed. Love to have a cup to help me unwind at the end of the day.
Lovely white tea - nice floral notes. Prob would be great iced, but I've only had it hot. (I add milk and sugar, though some would balk at that!)
This is one of my all time favorities! I love the taste of this tea.
Pretty much a standard white, very light, simple, and sweet, with definite floral notes. Not grassy (which is good - I hate grassy teas!) It's not so much of a standout that I'd drink it regularly, but it's also a nice tea if you're in the mood for a light white tea.
This tea is very good, it does not have an overpowering flavor, but it is incredibly refreshing iced. I followed the instructions on the bag, and was happy to find that a second batch using the same tea was almost as strong. I got 3 teapots from one batch of leaves, and I might have been able to get a 4th.
white peony tea was the first tea i ever tried that i absolutely loved. it's what got me into hot tea in the first place. this one is really good. tastes amazing and smells amazing. can't wait to get it again
i love a light tea and this is one that i love the most along with the white chai but this is my go to after a long day of work.
