White Tea – Light, Smooth & Seriously Underrated
If you’ve never tried white tea, you’re missing out on one of the smoothest, most delicate brews out there. It’s light, naturally sweet, and just a bit floral — kind of like the quiet genius of the tea world.
White tea comes from the same plant as black and green tea, but it’s the least processed of them all. That means more antioxidants, fewer tannins, and a clean, subtle flavour that’s easy on the palate and perfect for slow sips.
So What Exactly Is White Tea?
Good question. White tea is made from the youngest tea leaves — often picked before they fully open, while they’re still covered in soft white hairs (hence the name). It’s gently dried and left mostly untouched, which keeps its natural sweetness and floral notes intact.
It doesn’t punch you in the face like black tea or have that grassy thing going on like some green teas. It’s mellow, smooth, and super refreshing.
Why You Might Fall in Love with It
- Light & Easy: Perfect if you want something gentle that still feels special.
- Naturally Good for You: Packed with antioxidants — no need to overhype it.
- Simple to Brew: Just hot (not boiling!) water and a few minutes of steeping. That’s it.
- Feels Kinda Fancy: But without the attitude.
How to Brew White Tea
Keep it simple:
- Heat water to about 75–80°C (just before boiling).
- Steep your white tea for 2–4 minutes.
- Sip slow and appreciate the subtle magic.
Optional: Add a slice of peach or a drizzle of honey if you’re feeling creative.
