WHITE TEA

ABOUT

Eastern scholars now believe that the production of White Tea preceded that of Green Tea. The most effective way of preserving this tea was to wither and dry the fresh leaves to prevent oxidation. These days the technique of rapid steaming is applied during the production of the White Tea. The production of Green Tea, however, entails steaming or pan- frying and then rolling, this process was later developed in ancient China. White Tea is the choice of the discerning tea drinker. It is the least processed of all the teas and produced from the buds and leaves of a rare variety of camellia sinensis plant in East China. Depending on the grade of the White Tea when it is brewed, it can be yellow to light brown colour. Smoother than most varieties of tea, it is mild and slightly sweet in taste. The plant’s unopened buds have fine silvery-white hairs, hence the name White Tea.
