Two Delicious Teas from Teavivre

Teavivre.com recently sent me a gift of tea samples to try. It's so exciting to receive a package all the way from China! Today, I'd like to review two of the five: Jasmine "Dragon Pearls" Green Tea and White Peony Tea (Bai MuDan). I enjoyed both very much. The pearls are so pretty and I love watching them "bloom" in hot water. I took a photo of the pearls before steeping. The tea itself was delicate and flavorful. I tried it both plain and with a half teaspoon of sugar. Both ways were tasty. I think Jasmine Green Tea is a good afternoon tea. It's perfect along with shortbread or a scone. I love its fragrance and earthy flavor.

Next I tried the White Peony Tea. I took a photo of it steeping in my teapot and in a clear jar so you can check out its beautiful color. This tea tastes mild and floral. I'm drinking mine with a half teaspoon of sugar. I think it would pair perfectly with a snack of cheese and crackers. I'm sure I'll finish my Teavivre samples before the end of the month and wish for more. Have you tried any Teavivre teas? What did you think?
