Health Benefits

All tea comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis, but the way it's processed creates the wide variety of teas we enjoy today.

Typically White tea is handpicked in early spring when the buds are still covered in fine white hairs (which gives the tea its name). After picking, the leaves are spread out and left to wither naturally, either in the sun or in a controlled indoor environment. This step allows moisture to evaporate slowly and enzymes to begin breaking down the leaf. Once the leaves are sufficiently withered, they are gently air-dried or lightly baked to stop further oxidation and lock in flavour. There's no rolling or shaping, unlike green or black teas. This minimal processing keeps white tea closer to its natural state, resulting in a light, smooth, and slightly sweet flavour with high levels of antioxidants and low caffeine content.

Health benefits include:

  • Rich in Antioxidants - catechins and polyphenols that help protect the body from free radical damage, support healthy ageing, and promote radiant skin.
  • Supports Immunity and Heart Health - Regular consumption may help strengthen the immune system, lower inflammation, and support cardiovascular health thanks to its high antioxidant content.
  • Boosts Metabolism and Aids Fat Burning - White tea has been linked to gentle metabolic stimulation, helping the body burn fat more efficiently, making it a great choice for those seeking a healthy lifestyle.
  • Low in Caffeine, High in Clarity - With naturally low caffeine levels, this tea provides a subtle energy lift without the jitters, making it ideal for any time of day or even the evening.
