White tea has been described as the pinnacle of sophistication. This rare and supreme tea has been enjoyed in China for thousands of years, and it became very popular during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). White tea is made from immature tea leaves that are picked in the early spring before the buds have fully opened.

White teas are sometimes called “Silver Tips”, because the tea is silvery white, with pale blue or green highlights. Silver fuzz covers the buds of the tea leaves, and they turn white when the tea is dried. The proportion of buds to leaves varies, and white teas contain the highest proportion of hand-picked buds of all teas. The highest quality white teas are “Silver Needles” and “White Peony”. “Silver Needles” is made entirely from the largest downy buds, and “White Peony” is made from the smallest buds. The leaves and buds undergo a minimum of processing – the leaves are usually air-dried and steamed. The leaves are not rolled before drying.

1. White tea is the crème de la crème, and the taste is divine. It has a light, delicate, sweet and silky flavour that does overwhelm the tongue. The taste is nutty and almost creamy. Compared to green tea, white tea lacks the “grassy” aftertaste, and it is not bitter or astringent.
2. Due to the fact that the tea leaves are close to their natural state means that they contain more polyphenols than any other type of tea. Polyphenols is an anti-oxidant that fights and kills cancer-causing cells.
