White teas are comprised of only buds, plucked from a very rare variety of the tea plant. These teas are visually unique and delicate in flavor. The tea is very light in the cup and has a lingering taste. White tea is harvested for only a few days each year. It undergoes almost no transformation once harvested, and is merely dried and withered. The rarest of all teas, white tea takes on a subtle, yet complex flavor with the addition of a chrysanthemum flower. Because white tea is not fermented, it is also very low in caffeine. With a pale golden liquor and delicate refreshing taste, it is one of the most intriguing teas in the world.
