WHAT IS WHITE TEA?

White tea, considered one of the jewels of tea culture, is a rare variety that seduces with its delicacy and elegance. This tea is harvested in the first days of spring, just before the leaves of the tea plant fully blossom. At this stage, the young buds are still covered in silky white down, which is the origin of the name “white tea”.

  • Grown with Care  Growing white tea is an art that requires patience and precision. Tea plants are often grown at high altitudes, where the cool, misty climate creates ideal conditions for bud development. Growers wait for the perfect moment to harvest, which only happens once or twice a year, when the buds are ready to reveal their full flavor.
  • Manual and Selective Harvesting  Harvesting white tea is a meticulous practice, carried out exclusively by hand. Only the youngest buds and emerging leaves are selected, guaranteeing superior quality. This rigorous selection ensures that only the purest elements of the tea plant contribute to the creation of white tea.
  • A Minimalist Manufacturing Process  After picking, the leaves are delicately arranged for natural withering under the sun or in the shade, depending on tradition and the terroir. This withering, which can last up to 72 hours, allows for slight oxidation which will subtly influence the aromatic profile of the tea. Unlike other teas, white tea is neither rolled nor broken, thus preserving its integrity and original shape.
  • Precise Drying for Unrivaled Quality  The final stage of processing is drying. The leaves are carefully dried to stop any further oxidation. This crucial step is carried out quickly to fix the aromas and maintain the freshness of the tea. The result is a tea of ​​exceptional purity, with floral notes and a delicately sweet taste.

White tea is therefore much more than a simple infusion; it is the fruit of ancestral know-how and constant attention. Its preparation reveals a world of subtle flavors and nuances, inviting a unique and refined sensory experience.

WHAT IS THE FLAVOR OF WHITE TEA

White tea is famous for its delicacy in the mouth and its subtle sweetness. Unlike green tea, which can be grassy in taste, white tea offers a smoother taste experience, often described as less astringent and more floral, with woody and sweet notes. Its flavor palette reveals subtle fruit and floral nuances, such as apricot, honey dew, grape, lavender, apple, lychee and honey, which contribute to its distinct and sophisticated flavor profile.

In order to preserve its delicate character, it is recommended to infuse white tea with water that is less hot than that used for black or green tea, thus avoiding burning the leaves and altering the infusion by making it bitter. Traditionally enjoyed plain, without the addition of milk or sugar, a small amount of honey can however be added for those who prefer an extra touch of sweetness.
