Premium White Tea
The production of white
tea is different from other tea. The leaves come from special verietal tea
bushes and are not processed, but are dried and withered in the sun. Only
special "two leaves and a bud" are selected with the ideal situation being two
leaves wrapped around a newly developing shoot. After withering and drying,
these leaves are then slowly selected and sorted out individually by hand
White
tea is the most delicate of all teas. Using young tea leaves carefully
chosen during picking, this tea is neither oxidized nor steamed.
Our white tea is from a small two acre garden in a hilly, mountainous
region of the North Fukien province. The garden is approximately 3,500
feet above sea level. A delicate light green and white leaf, this tea
is picked and produced in late March. Most white teas are very
attractive but have no flavor. Not this one. This flashy leaf tea
produces a mild sweet cup.
