Friends very few among us know what is exactly a white tea . Our country runs on masala chai ie black CTC available in abundance in the market .But INDIA as a tea producing nation is acclaimed for its WHITE TEA also. This is the least processed tea . White tea is also made from the same leaves and buds of the CAMELLIA SINIENSIS plant only .
Now a point to ponder why a 25 gms pack or say 50 gms pack of white tea is so expensive . Nearly all the brands in the market makes a pack size of 25/ 50 but not 100 gms . Oops pretty interesting and you may feel , why should I pay more for this tea. Let me elaborate the reason :
- Very limited production as compared to other variants of tea
- Selective plucking and hand picked.
- The window time of harvesting is very short.
- Only the young tender buds are picked up before the sun rise.
- The most prized is the early spring harvest.
- Cool weather and optimal growing condition contributes to its delicate flavour.
- In the year 2024 the highest price fetched at the auction house for DRAJEELING WHITE TEA was Rs 3500 $ per kg.
- Only 3 varieties available in the world ; SILVER NEEDLE, WHITE PEONY &SHOU MEI. Friends , so why not taste a cup of white tea , the most prized possession of any tea LOVER . Iam not emphasizing on the health benefits again , but you can always try and explore the different types of teas .
FLAVOUR : Light , delicate and slightly sweet .
Brewing time : 5 minutes in hot water .
Enjoy your cup of white tea and let me know your feedback ,till then good bye.
