white tea FUN FACTS

X

Once upon a time, in the mountainous province of Fujian, China, a special plant known as Camellia sinensis thrived. This plant was not ordinary, for it bore a unique bud that would unfurl into a beautiful leaf. These buds, covered in fine silvery-white hairs, gave the plant a whitish appearance. This is where White Tea got his name. The cultivation of White Tea was a task that required patience and care. Each leaf was picked by hand and then withered for 72 hours either in direct sunlight or in a room with a carefully controlled climate. The leaves were then dried to prevent oxidation from occurring. White Tea when brewed, is typically light gold in color with a floral fragrance.  Despite its name, sweet brewed White Tea is pale yellow.

White Tea is not just a beverage, it is a symbol of health and wellness. It is loaded with a type of polyphenols called catechins. Its consumption is linked to numerous health benefits, including the risk of heart disease, combatting skin aging, and even helping with weight loss.

As the popularity of White Tea grew, it began to find its way into various food products, medicinal uses and fragrances.
