White teas, revered for their subtlety and refinement, offer Citizens of The Republic of Tea a truly elegant steeping experience. These light bodied selections are crafted from the youngest leaves and unopened buds of the *Camellia sinensis* plant, harvested with meticulous care during early spring. Their pale golden hue and gentle, nuanced flavors evoke the soft light of a summer morning, making them an exquisite choice for those seeking a moment of calm reflection or a delicate refreshment during the warmer months. The characteristically mild taste profile of light bodied white teas is ideal for Citizens who appreciate understated complexity—notes of fresh hay, sweet grass, and a whisper of floral essence drift gracefully across the palate, never overwhelming, always inviting another sip. The Republic of Tea recommends steeping these teas at lower temperatures to preserve their natural clarity and subtle aromas, creating a cup that is both soothing and sophisticated.
