Tasting Notes:

White teas are the least processed of all teas. They release the least amount of caffeine of all teas (5-10 milligrams per 8 oz serving) and are the highest in antioxidants. White tea is therefore the perfect meditative aid: it acts as a mild stimulant, without causing insomnia or nervousness. This White Peony tea simultaneously refreshes and quiets. The taste is round and fresh. It makes a refreshing and hearty iced tea, due to its natural sweetness.

White Tea

Tea infused from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant is the world’s most popular beverage after water. The darker the tea, the more processing it has undergone, and the more processing, the more antioxidants are lost. White teas are made from buds and young leaves, which are steamed or fired, and then dried. The closest thing to fresh tea leaves, white tea retains the highest concentrations of catechin polyphenols, which research shows may help prevent cancer, lower blood cholesterol, and control high blood pressure.
