Flowers From My Meadow Peony Petals are delicate dried petals from Paeonia species, selected for their rich magenta, fuchsia and burgundy-pink tones and soft floral character. Beautiful in both the teacup and the kitchen, they can be steeped alone as a naturally caffeine-free botanical infusion, blended with complementary flowers and herbs, or used to bring colour and botanical interest to selected culinary creations. Their light, papery texture and naturally varied colouring make them especially lovely for creative tea blends, garnishes and decorative food applications.
♡ Why we love it: Peony Petals are beautifully expressive without being overpowering. We love their jewel-like colour, delicate texture and versatility, whether used in a simple floral infusion, a colourful loose-leaf blend or an elegant culinary finishing touch.
