The least processed and most highly-prized of all tea types, white teas are harvested once a year, usually in Spring. For our collection of loose leaf white teas, only the youngest, finest leaves and buds are painstakingly plucked, before being gently dried in the sun. The result is a pale, Champagne-coloured cup with a uniquely fresh, delicate flavour.
China’s Silver Needle is the most famous of the white teas and it’s easy to see why – it is made exclusively of young, silver buds bursting with gentle sweetness and delicate notes of honeysuckle. The young, emerald green leaves and buds of our White Peony make for a more full-bodied cup, brimming with melon-like sweetness. Each of our carefully crafted loose leaf white teas can also be re-infused up to three times, with each infusion drawing out more delicate flavour notes from these truly special teas.
