A Note to Enjoy Tea (3)

White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. So we also considered White tea is minimally processed.

It is generally only picked and air-dried, hence, it is slightly fermented. The highest- quality white teas only come from the varietal of “big-white-tea”, picked early in the spring with the tips still covered with silky white down. These delicate teas carry flavours that can be described as savoury, mellow, and sweet. Traditionally it is a popular tea in Hong Kong and Southern part of Chinese mainland, now it is the focus of many studies for the high levels of antioxidants.
