hi White tea..is one of the rarer forms of tea.. like green tea it has antioxidents... but 5 times the amount..maybe more..research is still going on. it is a light delicate tasting tea that is brewed in a barely warm temp..180f...you don't need much of the leaves... the good stuff tastes almost like it has honey in it..
there are all grades of it but white tea is picked early in the spring and the leaves have these little white hairs on them.. therefore the name white tea.. silver needle is one of the best.
just bought some more...yummmmmm and some jasmin tea balls.. now those are strange looking but the tea is yummy.
