White Tea

Delicate tea from young leaves and buds
White Tea is one of the more delicate teas made from Camellia sinensis. Many varieties use young leaves and buds that are processed only lightly, which keeps the taste soft, bright and mild.

Depending on the variety, the cup can be floral, fresh, gently tart or lightly sweet. This category is a good choice if you enjoy a gentle tea with a clear structure.
What makes this tea special?
Like green tea, black tea and oolong, White Tea comes from the same tea plant. The difference lies mainly in the selection of the leaves and the gentle processing.

The name refers to the pale buds, which can have a fine silvery down depending on the variety.

Preparation
For many varieties, we recommend water at about 70–80 °C and a steeping time of 2–3 minutes. Water that is too hot or a steeping time that is too long can make the taste stronger and more tart.

Please follow the recommendation on the product page. You can then adjust dosage or steeping time to your taste.
