Did You Know... Tea


White Teas have the least amount of caffeine. Hot or cold white tea is very refreshing.

Chinese white teas are known for their cooling (Yin) properties and are considered detoxifying and refreshing. Recent research in the U.S.A. reports that white tea, in comparison to other tea, have the highest concentration of the anti-oxidant group known as “catechins”. White tea have less caffeine and a milder, less grassy flavor than most green teas.

White teas are China’s rare tea treasures, harvested for only a brief period each spring. White teas are indigenous to a very small area in south eastern China, where ideal growing exist. During the Song Dynasty white tea was developed from green tea. Its unique process is also documented in the Ming Dynasty tea books. Commercial production of white tea emerged, since 1796, during the Qing Dynasty. The most prized specialty white tea is “Silver Needle Pekoe” which emerged in 1885, while the production of Bai Mu Dan began a bit later, in 1922. True white teas are lightly fermented and can only be made according to a unique withering processing, distinct to a few small districts in the Northern most part of Fujian, China. White teas get their name from a specific tea plant variety, as well as a particular post-harvest processing method which raises small silvery hairs on the dried tealeaves and buds.

WHITE TEA
white tea

White Teas are rare tea treasures, harvested for only a brief period each spring.
Unlike black and green teas, white tea isn't rolled or steamed, but simply
aired dried in natural sunlight, "this preserves more of its antioxidant properties"
about three times as many antioxidant polyphenois as the green tea.
White Tea Leaves
are bigger, lighter and more delicate than that of Black, Oolong and Green Tea,
therefore you should use more leaves per cup than with other teas.
