As you may already be aware, Chinese White tea is rare. Only the youngest buds, some of which are unopened, that have abundant white hairs are plucked.
White tea is also the least processed of all tea.
They are not even rolled, as is Chinese green tea. The processed tea is clearly composed of full leaves, a mixture of light brown and green. Following steeping, the full leaves are apparent with the dominance of 'two leaves and a bud'. The light brown and green leaves are small, which is indicative of the China jat or one of the hybrids. Immediately, as with all white teas, this teas' delicacy is foremost in aroma, color, taste and aftertaste.
