White Peony with Pink Rosebuds

Our signature white tea blend uses only whole, large white tea leaves and rosebuds and is clean, fragrant and elegant with a refined flavour. 

White tea leaves are known for being amongst the rarest teas in thew World with the original, specially cultivated white tea leaves hailing from the Fujian province in China. The leaves and buds of these bushes can only be picked for a few weeks each year so these teas are as scarce as they are delicious.

We have blended these wonderful tea leaves with fragrant whole pink rosebuds for an infusion that is clean, smooth, sweet and mild with hint of luxurious perfume. Beautiful, refreshing and extraordinary.

To Enjoy

Place one dessertspoon per cup into an infuser, filter or teapot. Switch the kettle off, before it boils, when you hear the water rumbling. Add the hot, but not boiling, water and infuse for 3 to 4 minutes.
