Tea Facts

100% White Tea
If you drink tea for health reasons, you probably drink Green tea, but research now shows us that drinking White tea is actually even healthier for you than drinking Green tea.

Antioxidant Levels - White Tea has more antioxidants than any other kind of tea, including Green Tea. In fact, study after study is now telling us that White Tea is the healthiest of all teas. According to Dr. Roberta Lee.
· White Tea has 10x the antioxidants found in vitamin E.
· White Tea also has 20x the antioxidants found in vitamin C.

Cardiovascular Health - Tea may inhibit oxidation of LDL (low density lipoproteins), sometimes referred to as "bad cholesterol". Scientists believe that oxidized LDL is a potent initiator of coronary heart disease. White tea also reduces high blood pressure by inhibiting the formation of certain enzymes that cause constriction in blood vessels.

Healthy Teeth - One of the added benefits of drinking White tea that many don't realize is that it is far less likely to stain your teeth than when drinking coffee or even other tea varieties.

Antimutagenic - In vitro studies show both green and black tea polyphenols inhibit the mutagenic action of a diverse group of carcinogens. The seeds of cancer planted in DNA by carcinogens are blocked in the very stage of their formation by catechins and other polyphenols found in tea.

White Tea is the most minimally processed of all tea varietals, helping to preserve its powerful health benefits. Modern research shows that White Tea retains the highest level of disease preventative antioxidants known as polyphenols.

Once reserved for the cups of emperors and nobility, this magnificent high mountain China White Tea still remains one of the rarest of all teas. The tender white downy buds are painstakingly hand-plucked, only two days of the year, right before the leaf opens. So small is the yield, so high is the demand, that it is one of the world's most expensive teas.

We have procured this season's harvest to take advantage of a new manufacturing technique allowing us to offer White Tea in both full leaf and our signature round, unbleached tea bags. We are honored to offer you this pure, delicate brew. You are sure to delight in its subtle, sweet, lingering finish. Indulge in the ultimate cup that is White Tea.

Discover tea in its most natural state...here's to your health.



To appreciate the unique, soft flavor and delicate nature
of this tea, preparation is of the utmost importance.

The water should be just short of boiling
and the tea should steep only 30-60 seconds.

Enjoy this low-caffeine brew throughout the day.
