WHAT IS WHITE TEA?
White tea is a variety of tea extracted from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Similar to black tea or green tea, white tea is grown in the highlands of Asia with two representative countries: Vietnam and China. In addition, India, Thailand, Taiwan and Nepal are some of the world’s famous white ginseng producing countries.
Unlike green tea, white tea is only grown in small quantities. Therefore, they are favoured by tea lovers and voted as one of the precious teas worth enjoying.
White tea is harvested before the leaves of the tea plant fully bloom. That is, when the young buds are still covered with fine white hairs, hence the name white tea. The white coating of the tea leaves creates a thin film.
These tea buds and leaves are selected by hand. It is then dried quickly and meticulously. This helps prevent the tea from oxidizing like when producing green tea or black tea. If you don’t know, this method is specifically reserved for applying to processing high-end teas.
The oxidation process plays an extremely important role in tea processing and creates the different flavours of many types of tea. The longer tea is exposed to oxygen, the darker the tea leaves become and the flavour becomes much stronger.
Therefore, during processing, tea masters use many different methods to control oxidation. Including rolling, shaping or crushing the leaves to speed up oxidation. In addition, they will steam, bake or roast the leaves to inhibit this process.
White tea is not only famous for its rarity but also has a delicate flavour. The colour of the tea is light, and the aroma is faint and mild, but the tea taste is extremely interesting.
White tea used to be a drink reserved only for the Emperor in China 600-1300 years ago. At that time, to show our respect to the Emperor – the most powerful person in the country. People worked hard to process it and pay tribute to the royal court, and only he was allowed to drink it.
