White tea is known to be one of the most delicate tea varieties because it is so minimally processed. White tea is harvested before the tea plantâ??s leaves open fully, when the young buds are still covered by fine white hairs, hence the name white tea.
These buds and unfurled leaves from the newest growth on the tea plant are handpicked and then quickly and meticulously dried, so the leaves are not allowed to oxidize as long as leaves plucked for green or black tea production. This minimal processing and low oxidation results in some of the most delicate and freshest tea available.
