Peony tea's caffeine content is a common point of confusion among tea drinkers. While a true peony tea derived from the *Camellia sinensis* plant, like White Peony, contains some caffeine, many herbal versions are naturally caffeine-free.

White Peony tea, also known as Bai Mu Dan, is a delicate and prized variety of white tea known for its subtly sweet and mellow flavor. Striking the perfect balance is key, as steeping it for too long can lead to an astringent, unpleasant brew, while too short a time can result in a flavorless cup. The typical brewing time for White Peony tea is 2 to 3 minutes, but this can be adjusted based on water temperature and personal taste.
