White tea

White tea is a delicate and refined beverage made from the Camellia sinensis plant, the same plant used to produce green, black, and oolong teas. What sets white tea apart is its minimal processing and delicate flavour profile, making it one of the most prized and sought-after teas in the world.
White tea is harvested from the youngest tea leaves and buds, often picked during the early spring when they are still covered in fine white hairs, giving the tea its name. These tender leaves are gently withered and dried, undergoing minimal oxidation compared to other types of tea. This minimal processing helps to preserve the natural antioxidants and delicate flavour compounds present in the tea leaves.
