- White tea is created by picking the immature tea leaves and buds before the buds have fully opened. After harvest, the leaves and buds are allowed to wither and dry naturally in the sun. The "white” designation comes from the fine, silvery hairs on the leaves and buds which give them a whitish appearance; only parts with the most silvery hairs are chosen. White tea’s minimal processing allows it to retain high levels of health-supporting phytochemicals. The brew is pale yellow and has a subtle, delicate flavor, with renowned varieties including White Peony and Silver Needle.Originating in Yunnan, China, Puerh tea is made using an aging process that involves microbial fermentation. Puerh teas can improve and become more valuable as they age – some for several decades. With flavors that change over time, they are sometimes described as earthy yet clean and smooth, or roasted with sweet undertones. Offered in “raw” and “ripe” varieties, and sold as loose leaf or pressed into cakes, the genre of puerh is vast, and many a tea lover finds its exploration to be a life-long obsession.
