dried in the sun
Gently processed by hand
Quite unlike a black tea, which has been oxidised to bring out the stronger, more tannic flavours, white tea is just dried in the sunshine. It is the least processed of all teas.
Undergoing such limited processing means White Peony retains higher levels of antioxidants than other teas. It brews to a pale golden cup.
