White teas are considered by some to be the purest in the world. Spring buds are plucked, dried and sorted-no pan firing or steaming, no fermentation, just pure leaf. Traditionally White teas are grown on small freehold plots-some growers produce only a few hundred pounds per year. White tea is produced on a very limited scale in China and India. It is the least processed of its many varieties. The new tea buds are plucked before they open and simply allowed to dry. The curled-up buds have a silvery appearance and produce a pale and very delicate cup of tea. Full of Health Benefits. Very high in polyphenol count. The Lowest of Caffeine...almost none, plus a gentle and beautiful liquor. Add your own herbal flowers from your spring or summer garden or click on our Herbal Blends section.
