Due to its natural “unprocessed” nature, white tea has an abundance of anti-oxidants. White tea is traditionally regarded as a medicinal tea among the locals.

There are three categories of white tea. Silver needles are the first pluck of the season and consist solely of buds. The other two white teas are White Peony and Shou Mei. These three categories have their own unique tasting profiles with Silver Needles being the most delicate.
