White tea is a delicate type of tea made from the young leaves and buds of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is minimally processed, which helps preserve its natural flavors and antioxidants. The leaves are typically harvested in early spring, giving white tea a light, subtle taste that is often described as sweet and floral. This tea is known for its health benefits, including potential antioxidant properties and lower caffeine content compared to other teas like black tea or green tea. White tea can be enjoyed hot or cold and is often appreciated for its refreshing qualities.
