White tea

White tea knowledge
White tea can be defined in several ways, but a general definition for all white teas is that white tea is unoxidised. For some white teas, the definition is that the tea is picked as a top shoot, which gives the tea its very delicate and mild character. Other types of white tea consist of buds and unripe leaves that have been lightly steamed or roasted before being dried. Many white teas are dried or "withered" in the sun, which adds delicate aromas and a soft and warm flavour. White tea, like all teas, is named after the colour of the cup. The colour of the tea in the cup can be delicate light, salmon-coloured or more golden white. White tea also gets its name from the white hairs on the underside of the leaf that give the tea a very white look, especially when the white tea is a top shoot that has not unfolded.

White tea is primarily produced in Fujian province in south-eastern China. Several tea-producing countries such as East Nepal, Taiwan and South Sri Lanka (Galle) have also started producing white tea. White tea can be drunk throughout the day.
