White tea is an ancient type of tea. It was once a rare and treasured tea reserved for Chinese royalty. It is made from the same tea plant,Camellia sinensis, used to make green and black teas, but uses special white tea varieties, and is minimally processed. Triple Leaf Tea’s White Tea is from the Fujian province of China. Since ancient times, white tea was produced there because of its ideal climate for processing white tea. Our tea is made from the tender, top grayish green leaves. White tea gets its name from the appearance of the top silvery leaf buds that are covered in a fine silvery-white down.
