All tea comes from one plant, Camellia Sinensis, which is related to the evergreen family. There are four basic ways of processing the leaf which will become Black, Green, Oolong or White Tea.
White Tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves which have been steamed or fired to inactivate polyphenol oxidation, and then dried. The buds may be shielded from sunlight to prevent formation of chlorophyll. White Tea therefore retains the high concentrations of catechins which are present in fresh tea leaves and are believed to have some value in fighting tumors as well as enhancing immune system function.
White Tea brews best at 175 - 180 degrees.
