White Tea

White tea is a delicate and minimally processed tea, prized for its subtle sweetness and floral aroma. Its flavor is often described as light, slightly sweet, and less grassy than green tea. The tea leaves are typically pale green or silvery-white and covered in fine white hairs. White tea offers a refreshing and nuanced flavor profile, making it a popular choice for tea enthusiasts seeking a gentle and antioxidant-rich beverage. Enjoy a cup of white tea for a calming and flavorful experience.
