White Tea

White tea gets its name from the small white hairs on the buds of the Camellia Sinensis plant. Although all true tea comes from this plant, white tea is unique because it is harvested before the leaves are fully open.

Harvesting these buds is a delicate process often done by hand. Once picked, these white tea leaves are carefully dried as fast as possible. This is done to ensure that the leaves do not oxidise. As white tea is incredibly fragile, it was historically reserved for royalty.

Today, white tea is still considered a delicacy. The craftsmanship that goes into making this artisanal tea is astounding. White tea typically has a light flavour profile with subtle tasting notes. Due to its artisanal nature and the fragility of its leaves, it is best to consume loose leaf white tea for the full experience.
