What is Chinese White Tea?
• white tea is made from the youngest buds, picked in Spring, before they are open and still covered in fine white hairs
• key processing steps: Withering, Baking
• white tea does not go through the Killing the Green or Rolling processes so that the fine white hairs are not destroyed
