White Tea Is The Gem Of The Tea World

If you are looking for a very special beverage, then check out white tea. It's quite possibly the ultimate in tea. The Chinese have enjoyed this tea for over one thousand years – maybe it's your turn now.

White tea is unique and spectacular. It comes from the tea plant, camellia sinensis. Only the top buds and leaves of the plant are picked, harvested before they are fully opened, when they are covered in a fine white hair – hence the name. This tea undergoes very little processing and has a natural sweet, light flavor and contains less caffeine than other teas. Make this tea with very hot, but not boiling water, steeping it for only 2-3 minutes. However, the buds and leaves can be used 2-3 more times. The longer it is steeped, the stronger the taste. You can easily find out more about this tea online. There are many great tea websites which offer great information as well as products. Purchasing this tea online is safe, easy and very convenient and it will be delivered to your door.
