White Teas consists of the upper parts from the Camellia sinensis plant. Only the tips or buds and two upper leaves (Golden & Flowery leaf) are picked, mostly air-dryed, and shaped by hand. Low in tannin and therefore suitable to be prepared directly in cups and pots using hot not boiling water and infused up to 10 Minutes. White teas are more costly but make several infusions. Tea Fountain only carries loose leaf teas because all quality teas are loose leaf. Tea bags simply do not allow the use of large pieces of tea leaves and crushing the tea exposes it to too much oxidation. All of our loose leaf teas are sourced from the best suppliers in the world and due to our volume, they are always fresh and flavorful. All teas handled, brokered and offered by TeaFountain are naturally grown and fairly traded. Theine (caffeine) content: Very low.
Our Loose-Leaf White & Green Teas are packaged in custom-designed, decorative and sealed round 'Silver Glow' Metal Tins with our award-winning art labels.
