Light and delicate but comforting. Great cup of tea.
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.

Light and delicate but comforting. Great cup of tea.
The floral flavor is very light and delicate. I let mine steep a bit longer than usual and it was very forgiving: Not too bitter and just a bit sweet.
Initially very light, then sweet and floral on the sides of the tongue, but finishing slightly nutty at the back. The presence of the tea oils indicating freshness and quality is lovely. However, the taste is so light. longer steeping or drinking alone rather than with food may help. It's soothing, but I may have to drink this with more concentration on it to enjoy it more.
If you are interested in white teas, but do not like the costs, this is a tea that you can try at a good price.
Very good tea. Kinda light and fun. If your looking for a nice white tea, this is it.
A darker, tasty white tea. Exactly how I like my men.
A very light green tea. I have to add an extra teaspoon to get more of the flavor but this tea is nice to sip on as one prepares to go to bed.
I had high hopes for White Peony, but it simply has no taste...for my palate at least. Perhaps others shall fully disagree! That would be happy.
I love the 'white peony' tea. I drink about 3 cups every morning.
Not a tea with sweet undertones or an 'exciting' flavor', but still a good option
Lovely light white tea which develops a robust flavor when steeped for a while.
Good but very very light green tea. I use triple the amount of leaves as directed and it's still extremely light. Too light for me to purchase again but I have friends who love it.
Light and lightly sweetened it's a treat hot or iced!
Tastes light and flowery. Great summer tea. Try it iced#
A good leafy taste, but can be a tad overpowering and earthy at times.
It's good, just not really good enough to justify the rather high price tag.
This is a nice lite, crisp tea. There is no after taste like green tea but for some reason it does remind me of the flavor. Not sure if this is going to be a repeat purchase, I will have to finish what I have to decide.
A decent white tea. I enjoyed it. Nothing too exciting, though.
One of my favorite white tea to drink (for me it has a very slight edge over the white symphony). It is light, smooth and refreshing. I find that the white teas are less tannic than the green teas, and more forgiving if you forget the time.
Every morning at our home is begun with a pot of adagio teas. White peony is one of our favorites.
We love Adagio white teas! Mild flavor, excellent mid-day tea.
I tried this in a side-by-side brew with white symphony. Both were definitely good, but the white symphony really stood out as the better option. I'd be willing to pay slightly more for the symphony over this one, although they are certainly similar.
this is the first white tea i had tried and i liked it very much. it was delicate but still had caffeine which was great. i enjoy this tea extremely.
love, love love this tea. we order it every time we place an order
This is a great tea for someone looking to get into white teas but does not know where to start. The subtle and gently flavors of this tea do not disappoint.
I bought this tea for my brother, and although he doesn't drink white tea often, he said it was so good that he requested that I order more for him! He says it isn't too strong and is perfect for waking up in the morning or winding down at night, and we will definitely be ordering it in the future.
This one is also really great. A good afternoon tea when you just want a little something special.
The description write up if fairly accurate. This tea certainly has a warm nose and floral notes. One thing I have noticed is that as the temp begins to cool a bit as it sits in the cup, I get a more flavorful mouthful and roundness in the finish. I actually think this could be steeped at a lower temp than suggested which I may actually try. At first taste, it was a bit on the bitter side, but again, as it settles in and cools it brightens up.
This teas smells and tastes great. The smell reminds me a bit of hay (in a good way). Almost nostalgic. I'm new to white teas and haven't acquired the fine taste for all the subtle hints yet but this tea tastes great! My first cup of white tea and I'm loving it.
Lovely light and refreshing flavor. Great on a warm day over ice.
I got this as a gift for someone who doesn't like stronger teas, and she really enjoyed it.
It had a different taste than other white teas but it was nice because I could steep it twice to make it last. If I could afford it, I'd buy more.
The quality is great. The taste is a little bland as for me. For those who likes very subtle flavor would be great
Clean crisp flavor, I really enjoyed the smooth flavor!
This is a good 'everyday' white tea. While not quite as good as Silver Needles this still tastes very good and is less expensive.
good, not great but good. Strong but it was not overwhelming.
Slightly bitter but not overly so. The floral is very light, barely noticeable, but pleasant nonetheless.
This tea is very, very light. There is an almost imperceptible fruity flavor. Perhaps I could use more tea next time.
White Peony may not be my favorite tea but it's by no means bad. It has a pleasant flavor. It's light and it mixes well with other teas. White Peony won't replace my usual go to teas but I don't regret trying it at all.
The taste is so much unlike any other white tea I've tried-- it has the lightness of a white, but the flavor is rich and almost evokes black tea. This would be a very interesting tea to mix into other blends.
Smooth, clean, and simple. This tea has an interesting flavor that I could drink for hours.
White peony is my husband's favorite morning tea. We've tried several other brands and this is by far the best. Great aroma, taste, and a really good value. Highly recommend
This tea has a really light flavor that's really delicate and sweet. It isn't too weak, though, and it's harder for me to accidentally ruin than other white teas. .) I really liked how it had a fruity and floral taste without being too perfume-y.
This is the first white tea I ever liked. The peony flavor blends very well with the white tea flavor, keeps it from tasting like leaves picked up off the sidewalk.
Subtle and pleasant taste. Nice when you want something warm and understated.
It's not too flowery for my tastes, but I imagine that it could be for some. This is one of those teas which I wouldn't include with my 'go-to' favorites, but is more a 'once-in-a-while' tea when I'd want something a bit different.
Lightly floral. Good for those days you want to sit back and unwind.
A good white tea, though a bit more grassy than I prefer.
This might be the first white tea I've had. It tasted to me like a lighter puerh, and I'm not the biggest fan of puerh. This one specifically tastes a bit grassy which is great for some but off-putting for me.
Wonderful white tea, and rather affordable too. Stronger than silver needle, and less friendly towards multiple infusions, but still a very tastey tea. I recently bought 6oz and be aware, it will not fit in a jar much smaller than the 24 oz glass ones.
