White Tea

Interesting Anecdotes: Once reserved for the cups of emperors and nobility, this magnificent high mountain China White Tea still remains one of the rarest of all teas. It is painstakingly hand plucked only two days of the year, right before the leaf opens and then minimally processed. So small is the harvest, so high is the demand, that it is one of the world's most expensive teas. modern research shows that White Tea retains the highest levels of powerful, health promoting polyphenols that can help build the immune system and reward sippers with a healthier life.

Preparation & Serving: To appreciate the unique, soft flavor and delicate nature of this tea, preparation is of the utmost importance. The water should be just short of boiling and the tea should steep only 30-60 seconds.
