I have tried to switch from green tea to white tea before, but I could never stick to it. Well, I decided since the weather is getting cooler, it’s time to try white tea again.

I found organic Peony white tea by Prince of Peace online at Vitacost.  I think it was about $5 per box of 100 individual wrapped tea bags.  This much tea should last me for a few months.

This particular tea was OK, but not something I can drink too often.  I’ts not bitter, but taste rather flat and very herbal.  I guess that’s why Peony root tea has been used as herbal remedies for ailments.

I would probably just drink this Peony white tea a few times a week. This is mainly since young white tea leaves has approximately 3 times more antioxidant than green tea. There is also less caffeine in white tea, compare to green or black tea.

I also got the Peony white tea since I think Peonies have such pretty blooms.  Red Peony photo from Wikipedia.

A little information about POP white peony tea: It has been known that white peony tea was once reserved for Chinese royalty. Prince of Peace Peony White Tea is made of young leaves and buds from the Camellia Sinensis plant, harvested in China’s Fujian province.

Another extra for Prince of Peace is that your purchase would be helping the orphans of China. At least in a small way.  In 2003, they become the first foreign company to open an orphanage and rehabilitation center in China.

As written from their company website:

“For the first time in history, the Chinese Government is allowing a United States organization to build, staff and manage an orphanage in China. This was found for their company “The People’s Republic of China accounts for about 1.2 billion people. According to the general statistics in the Republic of China, the city orphanages house more than 16,000 orphaned and abandoned babies not including the ones in the countryside. From these statistics, one can easily see that there is a vast amount of needs to be met in order to help with the orphans, orphanages, and the adoption process with China.”
