White tea technology is one of the oldest tea processing techniques on earth when tea was considered a medicine. White tea is prepared according to a special technology of natural withering and drying, while maintaining its rich internal content with substances such as active enzymes, polyphenols, etc. Due to the special cultivars, climate, quality of the tea leaves, and low level of oxidation, this type of tea provides maximum vitamins and microelements. The highest quality white teas are made from spring young buds and leaves, traditionally dried under the sun.
Chinese traditional medicine claims that white tea has a cooling nature, dissipating heat and reducing fire. White tea strengthens the immune system, reduces the risk of heart disease, lowers blood pressure, prevents the development of cancer cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered that after 7 years of ageing, white tea acquires healing properties and could be used as a medicine. The taste develops and becomes richer and deeper.

ORIGIN
Due to the special cultivar 'Qun Ti Zhong' and prolonged withering technique, these tea leaves have a complex, rich, sweet infusion with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Beautiful hand-plucked combination of "one bud and two leaves", which guarantees sweet, gentle, smooth, and at the same time deep and rich taste. Carefully pressed using a traditional stone method allows to save the integrity of a tea leaf. Dry tea leaves have a sweet, woody, floral fragrance. After warming aroma develops into milky and honey notes. After rinsing, tea leaves start to open up wildflower and herbal nuances, bringing associations with the wood house, sauna, and birch broom. During multiple infusions the taste of tea changes bringing bakery, chocolate, nutty, and even cognac notes. Delicious and at the same time warning and calming tea.
