Spice up your life with a cup of white tea
a small package of white tea
White tea has less tannin and less caffeine than black tea.
If you're looking for a new experience in tea-drinking, why not try a cup of white tea, one of the most exclusive drinks in the world.

White tea is dried in the open air and remains in almost the same form as when it was picked, unlike black tea which fermented or oxidised before it is sold.

Guy Stephenson, a tea expert who runs the Mulberries Coffee Shop in Bulcote, just outside Burton Joyce in Nottinghamshire, says white tea is the purest form of tea available.

White tea is pale gold in colour when it is brewed.

A typical white tea sells for about £4.70 per 100 grams, which would probably last the normal tea drinker for two weeks or so.

Unlike black tea, its leaves can be used several times throughout the day before they are thrown away.

Green tea, very popular in Japan and China, is steamed and withered before it is sold to sterilise the tea. White tea contains a high proportion of buds and is simply dried.

The most expensive white tea is known as yinzhen, or silver needles, and can be sold for as much £280 a kilogram.

The tea leaves can last for an entire day.

White tea has less tannin and less caffeine than other teas, so it is healthier than most drinks.

The white tea is pale gold in colour and has a soft, mellow flavour. One of the most popular types is Pai Mu Tan, which means white peony and comes from Fujian Province in China.

If you have any questions about white tea, you can e-mail Guy Stephenson at Mulberries Coffee Shop.
