White tea comes from the buds and youngest leaves of the tea plant, with minimal processing. In the cup, it is light, delicate, and fragrant. In our collection you will find the most classic loose-leaf white teas: Yin Zhen (Silver Needles), made only from unopened buds, and Pai Mu Tan (White Peony), with buds and young leaves. There are also Silver Pearls, Nepal White Shangri-La, Tea Flowers and flavored blends with flowers and fruit such as Jasmine White Monkey and Japanese Cherry.

How to choose

Yin Zhen is the most delicate and refined; Pai Mu Tan has more body while remaining smooth; flavored blends are a good starting point for those new to white tea.

How to prepare it

Water that is not boiling, between 70 and 85 °C, and an infusion time of 3–8 minutes depending on the tea. Many leaves can be re-steeped. You will find the instructions on each product page.

If you like delicate flavors, also try the green teas and lightly oxidized oolongs in the oolong tea collection. The most sought-after white teas are also among the fine and rare teas. We have been selecting them since 2008, for the website and for our shop.
