Where does one get white tea?
White tea is considered to be one of the purest and finest tea varieties in the world. Its history dates back to ancient China, where it was reserved only for the imperial court as a symbol of purity and elegance. It is characterized by its delicate taste and aroma, which is the result of minimal processing.
White tea is white tea, i.e. when the leaves and buds are still covered with fine white hairs. The parent plant therefore remains the same as that from which black and green tea is derived, but different harvesting and processing methods produce products with different flavours and aromas.
White tea is the least processed of the two, essentially being dried very slowly in a cool, well-ventilated room and then consumed virtually in its natural form, thus retaining the highest proportion of valuable substances.
White tea = a rare commodity
Unlike green or black tea, white tea undergoes very gentle processing. After harvesting, the tea buds and leaves are dried naturally, often just spread out in the sun or shade. This process preserves the natural antioxidants and minimizes oxidation, contributing to the unique profile of white tea. The result is a light and refreshing beverage that retains most of its natural properties.
Needless to say, white tea production is certainly not mass-produced. Harvests tend to be limited, resulting in a higher price and less availability of this unique drink.

It's up to you whether you use a traditional teapot or a frenchpress teapot to prepare it. But heed the advice of the experts and infuse your white tea with water up to 80°C to ensure a truly intense experience and preserve its unique nutritional profile. If you want to be really sure of the temperature, use a special thermometer.
Health benefits of white tea
White tea is rich in antioxidants, especially polyphenols, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic effects. Studies have shown that regular consumption may reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. Thanks to its high antioxidant content, it can also help slow skin aging and improve its overall appearance. In addition, white tea contains less caffeine than other types of tea, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a less stimulating alternative.
