Qi White Tea
Naturally sweeter and more delicate than green tea
White leaf tea is the most prized of all teas, like Green Tea it is high in antioxidants, but it has a lighter, more sweeter taste than green or black tea.
White tea is hand plucked from the same bush as both green and black teas, however rather being plucked from matured leaves, it is instead made from the baby buds and youngest leaves from the tea bush. It is called white tea because of the fine white hairs that are underneath the newly grown leaf.
Once plucked, the buds and young leaves are then quickly yet carefully prepared, all within two hours of picking, to minimise oxidation and maintain the high levels of antioxidants and natural sweetness.
White tea is best enjoyed without milk or sugar and steeped with water below boiling point.
Qi White Tea is available in IGA’s, FoodWorks and premium organic grocers.
Ingredients: 100% Fairtrade organic white tea.
