First off, the picture does not do this leaf justice. This is exquisitely gorgeous. Long and slender. The dry leaf smells like fresh mown hay – back when we used to get rain and the hay fields grew, but I digress. The taste is very much like it smells. This is an awesome white peony. I got 4 steeps from the leaf before I stopped. I posted a bit more on my blog http://theeverdayteablog.blogspot.com/2012/07/peony-tea-s-white-peony.html
Thank you Derek and Peony Tea S. for sharing this sample.

Smiling at the hayfield scent reference. Sounds great!
