White tea is for the pure at heart, for those who appreciate the delicate and uncommon. Each sip is better than the last, subtle in flavour with the sort of sweetness that stays behind after you’ve swallowed. The distinctive leaves are always steamed or dried in the sun, loaded with antioxidants as well as antiviral and antifungal agents. Infuse in water at 80 degrees Celsius for 3 to 5 minutes.
