Other:

  • We also blend White tea with
    a variety of caffeine-free
    fruit and herbals.

  • To retain the health benefits
    of caffeine-free White tea,
    but yet add the more robust
    flavor of Black teas, we often
    mix in a bit of our CO2
    Decaffeinated Black teas.  

Both of these blends are featured
on the SPECIALTY TEAS page.
FYI - WHITE TEA

The finest qualities of White tea retain a silvery/white appearance.  Also the name refers to the pale color of the
liquor.  

This is the purest form of tea.  It has not bee fired, steamed or fermented.  The early Spring buds and most
tender top leaves are hand picked and then allowed to wither.  The moisture evaporates naturally.   It is very
critical that the leaves are exposed to the right conditions as they dry.  

The dry leaves are sorted and graded.  The leaves are rolled and/or twisted in much the same way as Green
tea.  

White tea is delicate, rare and quite a bit more costly that other teas.  There is a great deal of hand work.  

White tea has many of  the same health benefits as Green tea.  It is actually higher in antioxidants.  

White tea is considered caffeine-free  or in some cases, only retains an insignificant amount of caffeine.
