White Tea

The rarest of them all, white tea is tea in its most ethereal form. Picked as young buds and dried under the Sri Lankan sun, it’s light, elegant, and delicately sweet, a whisper rather than a shout. Packed with antioxidants and gentle character, white tea is perfect for those who believe that less is more, and quiet luxury is the best kind.

What are the health and wellness benefits of white tea?

White tea is rich in catechin antioxidants that may help fight free radicals, improve skin health, support heart function, and promote gentle energy with low caffeine (~25–35 mg per 220 ml), making it ideal for afternoon sipping and weight-conscious lifestyles.

How should I brew white tea, and can I add milk or sugar?
  • Use fresh water heated to 80 °C
  • Steep 1 pyramid bag or 1 tsp loose leaf per 220 ml for 2–3 minutes
  • Best enjoyed plain, though a touch of honey or lemon can complement its light profile. Milk is not recommended, as it overpowers the subtle flavor.
What makes White Tea different from other teas?

White tea is the least processed of all tea types, made from young tea leaves and buds that are minimally oxidised. This delicate processing preserves its subtle flavour and high antioxidant content.
