Description
This tea is subtle and delicate from Fujian, China, featuring a fruity aroma and honey-like undertones that create a smooth yet rich cup. Save your honey for another tea; this one is best enjoyed unadulterated. Hand-picked from March to mid-April, much care, craft, and labor are poured into every bud and every cup.
Insider Tip: White teas have traditionally been grown only in China, but in recent years, they have also been cultivated in other regions, such as India. Try one for yourself and compare the character and flavor!
Caffeine Level: Low.
Learn More:White tea was initially grown only in China but is now cultivated in India and other locations. Named for the tiny white hairs on the new buds and leaves, there are two main styles of white tea: Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) and Bai Hao Yin Zhen (Silver Needle). Silver Needle teas consist solely of closed buds, which can take over 10,000 buds to produce one kilogram of tea. These teas are handpicked, and the rarity, intense labor, and skill required to produce this fine tea make it highly prized and more expensive than Bai Mu Dan. White teas are produced by withering and drying, which allows minimal oxidation (black teas are fully oxidized). While they are often thought to be low in caffeine, the caffeine content of white teas greatly depends on the growing conditions and the varietal. However, lower steeping temperatures and times yield less caffeine than black or green teas. White tea is best enjoyed alone to appreciate its delicate flavor. Save the milk and sugar for black teas!
