White tea is an ancient type of tea. It was once a rare and treasured tea reserved for Chinese royalty. Modern research indicates white tea is high in polyphenols, a group of powerful antioxidants which help to protect the cardiovascular system, eye tissue, as well as helping to protect against ageing skin and free radical damage preventing cell mutation. It is made from the same tea plant, Camellia sinensis, used to make green and black teas, but uses special white tea varieties, and is minimally processed. Triple Leaf Tea’s White Peony white tea (Bai Mu Dan) is from the Fujian province of China. White Peony tea is considered one of the premium grades of white tea. It is made from the top greyish green leaves and silvery leaf buds, covered in a fine, silvery-white down. This fuzzy white appearance gives white tea its name. White Tea has a golden colour, and a subtle, fragrant, slightly sweet and complex, nutty flavor, unique to white tea.
