Organic White Peony Tea

White Peony tea, or Bai Mu Dan, is a type of white tea made from the buds and young leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is grown in the Fujian province of China. The leaves are withered and dried, with minimal oxidation, giving it a delicate flavor.

Manufacturers use White Peony tea as a flavoring agent in beverages, particularly in iced teas and tea bags. Its light, floral, and slightly sweet taste makes it a popular choice for unsweetened or lightly sweetened drinks.

White Peony tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other teas, it contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, which are compounds studied for potential health benefits. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated tea and its components, but specific evaluations for White Peony tea's use as a food additive are not widely publicized. Evidence on the health effects of tea consumption is ongoing.
