What is White Tea?

White Tea is one of the most delicate and minimally processed teas that offer mild flavors together with numerous health advantages. We select handpicked young buds and leaves for our tea to preserve the natural goodness of the tea, unlike other teas. White Tea began its cultivation in Fujian Province, China but has achieved global popularity due to its pure characteristics and distinctive flavor. White Tea gets minimally processed through nature based withering and drying without oxidation to conserve all of its high antioxidant composition.

Why is White Tea Called White?

White tea is called "white" because it is made from young tea buds that are covered in fine white hairs. These silvery-white hairs give the tea its name and reflect its minimal processing. Harvested before the leaves fully open, white tea is one of the most delicate and natural tea varieties available.

How is White Tea Processed?

White tea is processed as little as possible to preserve its natural properties. Fresh buds and leaves are plucked and then given time to wither in carefully controlled conditions. White tea retains its unique silvery white look and soft floral notes because it is neither oxidized or rolled like other teas. This method produces a smooth, sweet flavour and enhances the health benefits of the tea.

What is the Drying Process of White Tea?

White tea is best air dried with low heat or allowed to naturally dry in the sun to preserve its purity. The flavor and health advantages of white tea are enhanced by the lengthy drying process, which makes sure that the natural polyphenols, catechins and amino acids are preserved in the tea leaves. The lack of oxidation produces a pale golden infusion with a gentle, honey-like sweetness.

Is white tea better than green tea?

According to some studies, white tea contains less caffeine and more antioxidant compounds than green tea.

How is White Tea Oxidized?

One of the most striking factors of White Tea is the total lack of oxidation. White tea is allowed to air dry naturally, unlike black and green teas, which are exposed to varied degrees of oxidation or pan-firing. Its delicate chemical makeup is preserved with this process, guaranteeing a greater antioxidant content and a more floral, fresh flavour. The light body and delicate complexity of White Tea are further enhanced by its minimum handling.

How to Brew White Tea?

White tea should be brewed for a longer period of time and at a lower temperature for the best results. Depending on the variety, we advise steeping for 3–7 minutes at 175–185°F (80–85°C). While bud-and-leaf types, should be steeped for a shorter amount of time to preserve their balance of sweetness and freshness, Silver Needle demands longer steeping durations.
