White Tea

No Heat Is Used in Making White Tea

Among the categories of tea, alongside green tea, black tea, oolong tea, dark tea, and yellow tea, there is a type called white tea.

White tea is not simply a tea that looks white. In terms of processing, it is fundamentally different from green tea. Green tea is steamed or pan-fried to deactivate its enzymes, but white tea skips this step. In other words, the defining feature of white tea is that no heat is used in making it.

Because no heat is applied, white tea has a fresh, lively flavor that our customers describe as "tea juice."
