The combination of sweet peach, spicy ginger, and sweet grass with white tea is one to behold. Best served without any additions.
According to Chinese folklore, peaches are a potent symbol of long life, conferring longevity on all those who eat them. This belief stems from ancient legends that tell us the fruit was a favorite of the 8 Immortals, divine beings who populated Chinese myth. In the legends, one of the 8, Yu Huang, also known as the Jade Emperor was married to a woman named Xi Wangmu, Queen Mother of the West. Xi Wangmu owned a tree that produced peaches of immortality that she would serve to Yu Huang's immortal companions during an annual feast known as Pantao Hui, or the Feast of Peaches.
