White Tea

The least processed and rarest of all teas, white tea has the highest concentrations of polyphenols and is the most challenging to produce and procure. Once a year, in early spring when the buds and leaves are still closed and covered by fine silvery-white downy hairs, the leaves are delicately hand-plucked. They then undergo a meticulously monitored drying process where the tea is withered.

Gifel Tea works directly with these artisan-farmers who tender the delicate process to assure that the white tea that we offer yields an exquisitely subtle tea-drinking experience.
