White tea is the uncured and unfermented tea leaf. Like green, oolong and black tea, white tea comes from the camellia sinensis plant. White tea is fast-dried, while green tea is roasted in an oven or pan (while kept moving for even curing). White tea usually contains buds and young tea leaves, which have been found to contain lower levels of caffeine than older leaves, suggesting that the caffeine content of some white teas may be slightly lower than that of green teas.

White tea is a specialty of the Chinese province Fujian. The leaves come from a number of varieties of tea cultivars. The most popular are Da Bai (Large White), Xiao Bai (Small White), Narcissus and Chaicha bushes.

This drink offers a subtle liqueur, shiny, low in caffeine and light sweet aromas, refreshing and delicate.

Using advice

The white tea infusion requires a long infusion (up to 10 minutes) with a water source. The best way to prepare and enjoy it is to use a zhong, porcelain cup with a lid, traditionally used in China.
