Soft and smooth as the spring air that this tea is plucked in, the Peony White Needle produces a warm and beautiful light cup with wonderful aromas of fruity apricot and a clear straw color. This 1st flush tea is picked in March as the new buds begin to awaken from their winter slumber and lend themselves to a delicate and soothing cup. Enjoy this tea in the late afternoon or evening after dinner.
