Description

Pekoe White, plucked from Taiwan’s wild camellia hybrids at the elevation of 1800 m, these young silver buds promise an amazing experience for all white tea enthusiasts.

What makes Taiwan White Tea so different are when it is harvested and how it is processed. The leaves and buds are plucked when they are still young and immature. Then they are taken to dry and the oxidation process is stopped. Because of the minimal processing of white tea, it retains a high amount of antioxidants which makes it with extremely high value.

Compared to the other types of tea, white tea has been said to contain the least amount of caffeine. This is because the young leaves have not been able to mature and when brewing using less than boiling water of only 70 degrees Celsius or below for only 1-3 minutes don’t allow the caffeine to be pulled out of the leaves.

The leaves themselves have silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds that give the dried tea its whitish appearance. The brewed tea liquor itself takes on a pale yellow hue. It specifically has an extraordinary floral aroma, a delicate, sweet flavor and a fruity fragrance which you, White Tea Lovers, won’t miss it out.
