White tea is a mild, sweet and fresh tea, that comes from a very healthy and rarer variety of the same plant as Green Tea (Camellia sinensis). It is produced mainly in the Fujian province of China and only consists of the most tender leaf buds that are covered in silvery, down-covered hairs. These leaves can only be picked during 3 days of every year in early spring.
Containing up to three times as many antioxidants as green tea, this least-processed tea is the healthiest tea of all teas.It has a mild and sweet flavor that is velvet-like in smoothness, and has none of the grass-like flavors some green teas can produce.
