When talking about the many types of tea, White tea is not as mainstream as the other types but has the most health benefits of the tea choices.  It is a lightly processed (no rolling or roasting) tea leaf where it is mostly cleaned and dried and contains the most antioxidants of the tea family.    White tea comes primarily from China  but we also get a few of our stock supplies from Sri Lanka - especially or Silver Tips.  

White tea can take on two forms,,,,,The first is the tea bud (unopened tea leaves) where the exterior is covered in very fine and tiny hairs making it downy looking and a sign of good quality...The second is White Peony leaf or Pai Mu Tan or Bai Mu Dan which has green-gray colored first leaf and sometimes the second leaf with the bud of the plant making a very light colored and flavored cup of tea.  

Manufacturing of white tea is usually done in the following order according to our suppliers in China and Sri Lanka - Fresh tea leaf and bud (unopened tea leaf) is picked - then it will be withered or air dried.  It is that simple...not much processing leaving it in its most natural form.
