Tea Varieties

White Tea

The rarest of all tea types and a specialty of Fujian province on China's east coast. The name comes from the almost colorless liquor, and from the silvery hairs found on the buds of the plant. Delicate in flavor as well as color, the tea has a subtle, slightly sweet flavor and a mellow creamy or nutty quality.The tea consists of the whitish buds of the tea plant. The buds (and leaves) are naturally dried using either sun drying or steaming methods. This is the final step in the production process, as white tea is unfermented.
