This Red Peony Rosette is a rare China black tea (Anhui Province) made from tender young leaf buds which, after going through the process of black tea production, are carefully sorted and then hand tied to form the shape of a flower. During the infusion the rosettes slowly open up to resemble a "Peony". The flavorful and aromatic infusion has a light, natural sweetness and faint biscuity notes. The Red Peony stands up well to multiple infusions and does not turn bitter even after extended infusion time. A great tea for traveling
