Brewed slowly, it makes a gentle, earthy, naturally caffeine-free cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a slightly sour, earthy character that softens beautifully when paired with licorice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThe true character of the peony lives in the root, hidden deep in the earth. For centuries, families across Asia kept this gentle white root in the herb cupboard as a traditional, everyday brew. Kosbee carefully washes and slices white peony grown in Korea's fertile soil, with no chemical processing of any kind — the purest form of the root, ready to simmer at home.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Gentle, Earthy Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite peony root brews into a mild, grounding cup with a clean, slightly sour, earthy taste.
