Herbal tea is not technically a true tea, as it does not derive from the Camellia sinensis plant (i.e. the plant that is used to create black, oolong, green, and white teas). Instead, herbal tea is an infusion or blend of various leaves, fruits, bark, roots, or flowers belonging to almost any edible, non-tea plant. Herbal teas have existed for a very long time, but have surged in popularity over the past several decades thanks to their vibrant flavor, as well as their myriad mental, emotional, and physical health benefits.

White tea is characterized as a tea that is not oxidized (meaning broken, bent or rolled) in any way. Therefore, great care must be taken when transporting the freshly picked green leaf from field to factory where it is withered and dried. Because it is not oxidized in any way, the teas maintain their color and leaf-like form. White teas are known for their soft and sweet notes. They leave one's mouth feeling refreshed, and body cleansed. Antioxidant rich and with minimal caffeine, they are appealing on many levels. White tea is not a replacement for your black and green tea collection – it is an additional tea drinking experience. White teas are fantastic as sun teas, or as a warm cup in any season.
