Authentic white tea comes from specific species of the tea plant. The leaves are often picked while still in bud form and are naturally dried by direct sun-light, in a complex time-consuming process. This minimal processing, and low-temperature drying, results in tea which is thought to be higher in anti-oxidants. But more importantly white teas provide a unique malty-sweetness in taste, a gently rejuvenating effect, and are particularly good for all-day drinking. Our selection offers the full range of authentic white teas with flavours from punchy maltiness, to the most subtle delicate sweetness.
