About White tea
White tea is tea made from minimally processed young leaves and buds of the tea plant. It is usually pale and lightly flavored when brewed, with a delicate, sometimes floral or grassy character; dry leaves may appear silvery, greenish or pale brown depending on the style.
It is steeped in hot water and sold as loose leaves, buds, or compressed forms. Harvest, processing, storage and brewing strength affect its appearance and taste. A brewed cup is distinct from dry tea leaves, and flavored white tea products may contain additional ingredients.
