All About Tea — white tea

As we have discussed in other articles the world of tea is often divided into two groups: true teas and herbal teas. True teas are made from the camellia sinensis plant and contain naturally occurring caffeine. Herbal teas on the other hand are produced from non-camellia sinensis ingredients like hibiscus, rooibos, and lemongrass just to name a few. So just how much caffeine do all of these teas contain?

If you are seeking only the most delicate, sublime, and ethereal cups of tea then white tea is your aim! White tea is an incredible member of the camellia sinensis or “true tea” family. White teas offer up a diverse range of flavours and aromas, all of which exude an exquisite and graceful beauty. As its name suggests, white tea is the lightest and elegant of true teas.
