White Tea
White tea is among the world's rarest teas. Traditionally, white tea is picked only in the first weeks of spring and before dawn, when the tender new buds have yet to open. Only particular strains of the China bush is used, and even only certain bushes and parts of a tea garden might be picked. White tea under goes almost no transformation once harvested, it is merely withered and dried.
