You've probably noticed White Tea being mentioned a lot recently in beauty and health magazines, but you may be a little unclear about what it actually is! Well, white, black, green and oolong tea all come from the same plant, but they're processed differently. White tea is the least processed. It is simply left out to dry in the sun for a short time. The "white" refers to the colour of the hairs on the leaf - many white teas are actually pale green in colour.
Our recommendation? The Pai Mu Tan, without a doubt. If you are new to White Tea, this is the very best you can get before prices take a massive jump. Our other White teas are significantly more expensive. They are good value - they rank among the finest, most valuable teas in the world - but we suggest you try the cheaper ones first. Read the descriptions and see if you agree!
With remarkable skill, the delicate leaves of this tea are gently rolled and twisted into tiny rings, providing a perfect conversational piece and ideal for a dinner party. Exquisite white tea.
Silver Needles, perhaps the most renowned tea in the world today, has a very delicate, refreshing character with distinct fruit notes. This is the tea the Chinese Emperors drank over 5000 years ago. Who would have thought that such a famous name in tea could also be such fun to drink?
Silver Needles scented with the finest Jasmine blossoms. This gives a very delicate character, but with a hint of Jasmine. Very refreshing. Silver Needles is the tea Chinese Emperors drank over 5000 years ago. Highly Recommended.
One of the great white teas of China, famous throughout the world. To drink this sweet, bright, refreshing tea is to be part of an ancient tradition of tea-making excellence that is steeped in tradition and mystery.
The finest, downy leaves are individually and painstakingly hand-rolled into tube or pillar shapes, producing a white tea with a sweet and crystal clear flavour, with a strongly floral character.
