These are the best teas worldwide, and carry maximum health benefits. These are made of tea buds and two leaves that are plucked at a very young stage when they have White hair on the leaves. After plucking, these are not allowed to oxidize. A special variety of White tea consists of only ‘tea buds’ and is called ‘Silver Needle’. Only a small quantity of White tea comes out from a large plantation area, and that is why White tea is expensive.
The White tea offers normal benefits of Black and Green Tea, but at a higher level, e.g as immunity booster against Cancer, Heart Stroke, Bacterial Infection and other Diseases. Additionally, White teas delay skin ageing and prevent tooth cavities and type-2 Diabetes.

What do we Offer?
We offer two varieties of White tea; Silver Needle made purely from tea buds, and normal white tea made from tea bud and two leaves. These teas are from famous tea gardens in Darjeeling like MIM (Andrew Yule). These are available in packets of 50 and 25 grams loose tea.
What is White Tea?
White tea is the purest and least processed of all teas. It has the least amount of caffeine and the highest amount of antioxidants of the three main types of tea. The process of production of white tea maximizes its health benefits and ensures that white tea maintains its freshness.
The major difference between White tea and other types of tea comes from the part of the plant that is used in production. Most white teas come from the leaves and the buds of the tea plant at the branch tips, whereas other teas come from the upper leaves of the plant. In addition, the buds and leaves used in the production of White teas are picked during a limited period every year.
Because of this reason white tea is much more scarce than other types of tea and is more expensive too, up to three times as expensive as green tea for the best qualities. But at the same time less white tea is needed to get a fresh and strong infusion of antioxidants that strengthens the immune system and the body. Moreover, only a little amount of white tea leaves can be used multiple times to make several cups.
How did White tea get its name?
Unlike other teas, the tea leaves for white tea are harvested before they are fully open. In this state, the buds are covered by white hair which is what gives this tea its name. Only certain leaves are selected, with the ideal being two leaves wrapped around a new shoot.
The Taste of White Tea:
White tea unlike green tea does not contain the chlorophyll containing leaves responsible for a bitter taste as it is made of young shoots. A minimalist approach to processing gives white tea a much gentler and subtler taste. It may take some time for people to develop a taste for this finer, understated tea, but once hooked, no other tea will do. Those who don’t like the slightly grassy aftertaste of green tea find it easier to develop a taste for this tea.
White Tea Health Benefits
Studies have shown that white tea has a concentration of antioxidants that is three times higher than in green tea. Essentially, white tea contains the same concentration of antioxidants as the young and fresh tea leaf buds that are still attached to the bush. This makes white tea the tea with the highest antioxidant content and a more pronounced effect on cancer, stroke prevention, cholesterol control, aging and general wellbeing. In medical sciences the benefits of antioxidants in disease-prevention is well documented and proven. Studies have indicated that white tea may be helpful in halting the growth of bacteria that cause pneumonia, dental problems and other infections and it is shown to be even more effective than green tea in inactivating viruses. White tea can stimulate the immune system to fight disease. It can also prevent diseases from occurring, by halting their progress in the early stages.
