This product has nothing to do with white peony root. I learned this after buying a package of the tea from Whole Foods. In big letters it said white peony tea. But the contents were identified (in small letters) as white tea. So I called the manufacturer and spoke to the buyer who told me that everyone in the tea business knows the meaning of white peony. He couldn't understand that us poor consumers just might be misled by this false packaging. Anyway, as far as tea goes, it wasn't bad.
Unprocessed?, from everything I've read white tea is minimally proceeded, more anti-oxidants than green tea and less caffeine. Hmm, so the buyer says that the poor saps who buy white tea are misled or is it that it's called white peony tea?,
Can you say which brand?
