ABOUT WHITE TEA

"In the pale bud, the dawn’s first light rests. Soft as the morning mist, pure as untouched snow. White tea whispers of silence and simplicity - a gentle breath from nature’s quiet heart. It teaches patience, the slow unfolding, the grace found in stillness and clarity. Sip not to rush the moment, but to taste the calm before the sun rises, where purity dwells, serene and true."

White tea is one of the most delicate and minimally processed teas, prized for its subtle flavor and rich bioactive compounds. White tea has its roots in the Fujian province of southeastern China, where it was traditionally reserved for imperial courts due to its rarity and refined qualities. The name “white tea” (Bai Cha) refers to the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant. White tea is predominantly grown in Fujian, especially in areas such as Fuding, Zhenghe, and Jianyang. These regions provide a cool, misty climate with well-drained acidic soils ideal for the slow, careful growth of tea buds and young leaves. Some white teas also come from the neighboring provinces and parts of Yunnan, though Fujian remains the benchmark for quality.
