White Tea
White tea is light, sweet, and minimally processed. Its depth captivates from the first sip. It combines floral, fruity, herbaceous, and woody notes with a delicate texture and an unparalleled freshness. Over time, good white teas develop sweeter and more complex nuances. With so little intervention, there's no room for error: only the finest cultivars achieve that perfect balance between sweetness and complexity.

How is white tea made?
How is white tea made?
White tea is made in three steps : harvesting, withering, and drying. In the first step, the harvesting method depends on the quality of the tea. In some cases, only the bud is picked, while in others, up to two top leaves are included. The leaves are then withered on bamboo trays for about 72 hours, allowing the water in the leaves to evaporate gradually as they begin to oxidize naturally. Afterward, they are heat-dried and finally sorted, with lower-quality leaves removed to ensure the tea's quality.
