It probably wasn’t wise to precede this sample with a hefty helping of Freestyle Franken-Mix…my son and I dump in half-bags and boxes of whatever happens to be open and use Chex Mix seasoning to homogenate it a little. This batch’s rogue ingredient was crispy chickpeas.
So there was so much salt residue on my tastebuds, at first, all I could get out of White Peony was “plant.” Not unpleasant; just not much there. However, toward the end of the cup, I could pick up the faintly floral flavor (say that five times fast!) as advertised.
