White tea is the finest tea variety because it is the least processed.
- White tea is made with the young buds of the plant, when they are still covered by fine white hairs and before they are fully open.
- Since it is minimally processed, it retains a high amount of antioxidants.
- All teas are made of leaves from the Camellia sinensis. The Camellia sinensis sinensis is a small-leaved plant native to China and is commonly used for green and white teas. The Camellia sinensis assamica is a larger-leaved plant typically used for black and oolong teas.
White tea is the freshest and most delicate tasting tea.
