White Teas

What is White Tea? A Definition:

Assam White
White tea grown in the Assam region is rare; it produces a light body and a naturally sweet malty, flavor.

Ceylon White
Much pricier than black tea from the same area, this Sri Lankan tea brews to a golden copper with flavors of honey and pine.

Darjeeling White
The tea leaves used in this brew are unusually fluffy and light; they produce a pale golden liquid with a mellow flavor.

Shou Mei
This tea’s leaves are plucked later, giving it a darker color and a stronger flavor, reminiscent of Oolong.

Silver Needle
The highest grade of white tea, Silver Needle can be recognized by its fleshy, bright-colored leaves, liberally covered by tiny white hairs. Grown almost exclusively in the Fujian Province of China, it has a mild, soothing, lightly sweet taste.

White Peony
The next grade down from Silver Needle, White Peony tea utilizes more leaf and fewer buds. It brews darker, and has a fruitier flavor, than Silver Needle.
