White Tea leaves are picked early in the season when the buds are fresh and tender, then the leaves are gently dried. White tea undergoes the least processing - the leaves are simply withered and dried. This method maintains higher levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and vitamins, while also yielding much less caffeine than the other tea varieties. Shu Mee White Tea brews to a light golden-red color and has a slightly sweet and delicate taste with no grassy undertones, and delivers a mellow slightly nutty taste.
