White tea is the most natural type of real tea – processed with minimal intervention from carefully picked leaves that are naturally sun-dried after harvest. No oxidation, no roasting, no rolling – just the pure essence of the tea leaf.
Since the leaves are not exposed to heat during processing to stop their oxidation, white tea naturally ages with age, similar to green (sheng) pu erh. There is also an accelerated method of maturing white tea.
Its taste is ethereal, clean and slightly sweet, with floral or honey tones. Some white teas also have a mineral or fruity aftertaste that develops beautifully when slowly sipped. The higher the quality of the tea, the greater its ability to enchant with both softness and depth.
White tea contains a number of antioxidants, which also help to slow down the aging process and improve the condition of the skin. It is very often used as an ingredient in cosmetic products.
