white tea
Pale, delicate brew
White tea is tea made from young leaves and buds that are minimally processed—typically just withered and dried, without the oxidation that produces green or black tea.
The name comes from the fine white hairs on unopened buds.
White tea has a delicate, subtle flavor and is prized for its supposed health benefits: She switched from coffee to white tea.
