Peony White Tea

Peony White Tea is made by a company called Prince of Peace.

Flavor: Although it is clearly flowery, it has a pretty indeterminate taste. I cannot say for sure that it tastes like peonies since I do not know what one tastes like. The aftertaste is definitely a less delicate grade of white tea. Although it is not unpleasant, it may take some getting used to.

Suggested Additions: adding to it, you may lose all the original flavor of the tea. A teaspoon of sugar is all I added and did not stir it yet. I believe that the sugar may help ease the unusual taste of the tea.

Ingredients: It simply says, "peony white tea."

Purpose: Some amount of caffeine as with any other white tea, but the bag said "healthful solutions" on it. I am not sure if the peony in the tea has any health benefits. According to Wikipedia, the root of the peony is used in ancient Japanese medicine as a treatment for convulsions, but because of the very flowery taste of the tea, I don't believe the root is used in this particular tea. I chose it because today is a "white tea day."
