Pivoine Blanche - Feuilles en vrac

The first steep smells like fresh honeydew, and the liquor stays light and golden even after a few infusions. I brewed it at 175°F and got that delicate honey note without any bitterness. This is my new go-to for slow mornings.

The dry leaves are mostly silvery buds with a few green ones mixed in, and the smell is fragrantly sweet before it even hits the water. It steeps up to a light honeyed cup that's soft on the palate, and I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week.

The first steep poured a pale gold that smelled just like honey, and the melon note came through even stronger once it cooled. It’s so light and well-rounded that I’ve already gone through half the bag in a week—perfect for slow afternoons.
