White tea is the least processed of all tea types and is made primarily from young tea buds and tender leaves. The leaves are simply withered and dried under natural conditions, allowing minimal oxidation to occur. This gentle handling preserves the tea’s natural enzymes and delicate flavors.

White tea is characterized by its pale liquor, light body, and subtle floral or honey-like notes. It is also rich in antioxidants and is often associated with calming and refreshing qualities.

Due to its fragile nature and labor-intensive harvesting, white tea is considered a premium tea variety.
