White tea belong to the category of light-fermented teas and is mainly produced in the Fujian Province. It is characterized by the high content of succulent, whitish and hairy leaf buds with a slight greenish tinge. White tea is considered to be the purest in the world. Spring buds are plucked, dried, and sorted with no firing or steaming, and no fermentation.
Traditionally, white teas are grown on small freehold plots. For example, good quality Pai Mu Tan can be in short supply from time to time. It is grown in the mountains near Fu-Ding City (Fujian Province). The tea estates are small, numerous and run as cooperatives benefiting all. Some growers produce only a few hundred pounds of White tea per year. Note that White teas have a very high polyphenol (antioxidant) count and are usually stimulating.
Steeping Time: Allow the boiling water to cool for a minute before using. Brew a white tea for 7 to 10 minutes. Do not to consume White Tea during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
