About White Tea
Our White tea is processed in the most natural way possible - it is just picked and sun dried. White teas have do contain high levels of caffeine and antioxidants.

Making Tea
Even the best tea can be ruined by using poor quality water and incorrect water temperature. Green and white teas are the most delicate, being made (at best) from the youngest, unrolled and unoxidized leaf. Water above 85 degrees centigrade 'overcooks' the leaf destroying the complex favours of the tea and in many cases making the infusion bitter, unpleasant and unrefined.

For a 12oz pot of white tea, use one teaspoons of tea in 167˚-185˚ water for 1 to 3 minutes

The above recommendations are a rough guide depending on density and shape of leaves as well as personal preference so please refer to any specific instructions given for each tea, and by all means feel free to experiment.
