White tea is one of the finest types of tea, made from the young buds and leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant before they fully open. These buds are covered with fine white hairs, giving the tea its name and distinct pale appearance. It’s the least processed type of tea, helping it retain more nutrients and natural properties.
Types of White Tea
There are several varieties of white tea, depending on the region and drying method—most notably Bai Hao Yin Zhen and Bai Mu Dan. Each has its own flavor profile and unique characteristics. Known for its high quality and rarity, white tea is often enjoyed on special occasions.
Dilmah Expert’s White Tea is among the rarest and finest in the world, handpicked under strict standards.
Health Benefits
White tea is rich in antioxidants, which help combat free radicals, supporting heart health and slowing aging. It’s also believed to improve skin health, boost metabolism, and support healthy weight. With its low caffeine content, white tea is a calming, refreshing option for those avoiding strong stimulants.
Why Try White Tea?
White tea offers a delicate, floral flavor and a smooth drinking experience—unlike black or green tea. Because it's minimally processed, it retains essential vitamins and minerals, making it a perfect choice for anyone looking for a healthy, luxurious tea.
How to Brew It
To enjoy white tea properly, heat water to about 70–80°C (not boiling), then steep 1 tsp of white tea leaves per cup for 3–5 minutes. Avoid boiling water to preserve its subtle flavor.
