Tea You Should Be Trying
White Tea's
Camellia Sinensis Leaves (Whittards)
What Whittards say
"The raked stones of a Zen garden where the world's noise is kept far away inspire the simple purity of this blend. White tea is made from the youngest buds and softest leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, which are left to dry naturally in the clean mountain air. Pale gold in colour, its flavour is as delicate, sweet and light as the early morning sun."

White Silver Needle (Whittards)
What Whittards say
"It is said that this tea is only harvested during full moon, by young women with golden scissors. This may be just legend, but is true that there are only a few days each year when the pure silver tips used for this tea can be picked to ensure rain doesn’t damage the young buds. Considered amongst the most beautiful and rare teas in the world, Silver Needles should be carefully prepared using water just off the boil to appreciate its smooth sweet elegance."
