Peach Blossoms "Taohua"

Peach blossoms (taohua, 桃花) are delicate dried buds with a soft floral aroma reminiscent of a spring garden. In Chinese tea culture, taohua is loved for its beauty and subtle flavor.

The buds can be brewed on their own as a light, pale, caffeine-free infusion or added to green, white, and black tea, rooibos, and fruit blends. In a clear teapot they unfurl beautifully and adorn the tea session.
