Unlike most teas, white tea is the least processed of all. It undergoes no fermentation, withering, or rolling, and its drying is kept to an absolute minimum. The result: a nearly untouched tea that naturally retains a high concentration of nutrients and beneficial compounds.

Delicate and refined, white tea offers a smooth and subtle cup. To preserve its full finesse, it is recommended to brew it for 5 to 10 minutes in water no hotter than 70°C (158°F) . Ideally, use a dedicated teapot: the strong aromas of black tea could overpower the subtlety of white tea.

A gentle slimming ally

White tea is known for its metabolism-boosting effect, thus promoting natural weight loss. It also helps reduce water retention, limiting bloating and feelings of discomfort.

Its very low theine content—and the near-total absence of caffeine—allows you to enjoy it at any time of day , even in the evening. An ideal routine: one cup upon waking, one after dinner, and one before bed.

The benefits of white tea

• Rich in antioxidants , to support the immune system and slow down cellular aging

• Concentrated in vitamins C and E , useful for preventing colds and minor seasonal infections.

• Helps reduce blood pressure and cholesterol , thanks to its low caffeine content.

To fully benefit from its properties, avoid adding sugar or milk, which would hinder the absorption of antioxidants. White tea is best enjoyed on its own, in all its simplicity—for the greatest pleasure of your body and taste buds.
