WHITE TEAS

White teas are produced with minimal processing. The leaves are often only allowed to wilt and be air dried before packaging. In some varieties the leaves are steamed, sealing in the numerous health-benefiting elements. When brewed correctly, white teas release a very low amount of caffeine. This type of tea often only consists of unopened leaf buds and takes its name from the delicate white down that covers the buds. White teas yield a very special flavor and texture, with "nutty" overtones, and brew into a very light yellow liquor. The delicate aroma is reminiscent of an early Spring breeze. These high quality teas are available in limited quantities.

Teas are available in bulk packaging or in "The Tea House" brand retail packages. Price is per lb.  Minimum quantity is 2 lbs. unless otherwise (*) indicated. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. Custom blending available.
