White Tea
True luxury is quiet. Our collection of white teas is dedicated to the rarest, least processed, and most delicate category of tea in the world, harvested by hand from the youngest spring buds and leaves of the tea plant, primarily in Fujian, China. Enjoy deep, velvety textures and evolving flavour notes across multiple infusions.
Shop Our Range Of White Tea
Our premium white teas feature minimal processing (merely plucked, withered, and dried in natural sunlight), minimal oxidation, astringency, and exceptionally subtle & sweet floral flavour notes.
Imperial Pure Downy Buds
A great choice for focused, slow, meditative afternoon tastings or quiet weekend unwinding. Teas like our Silver Needle (Bai Hao Yin Zhen) deliver the absolute pinnacle of pure, sweet, velvety luxury tea.
Premium Large-Leaf Wholes
Choose a slightly deeper, fruitier, and earthier white tea complexity. Our favourites include the White Peony (Bai Mu Dan), known as an elegant daytime dining pairing or a subtle, sophisticated daily focus drink.
Choose White Teas For A Boost Of Health
✓ Highest Concentration of Antioxidants - because white tea leaves are minimally processed and unfermented, they retain the highest natural levels of catechins and polyphenols, which effectively combat oxidative stress.
✓ Superior Anti-Ageing and Skin Protection - studies show that white tea actively inhibits the enzymes responsible for breaking down elastin and collagen, helping prevent wrinkles and protect the skin from UV damage.
✓ Gentler, Sustained Energy Boost - naturally contains less caffeine than green or black tea, pairing it with high levels of the relaxing amino acid L-theanine to deliver a smooth, focused energy boost without any jitters or crashes.
✓ Promotes Excellent Oral Health - white tea is rich in natural fluorides, catechins, and tannins, a combination that actively inhibits the growth of plaque-causing bacteria and strengthens tooth enamel.
