Produced from the youngest and the most tender tea leaves, white tea is much rarer than any other of teas made from tea plant Camellia sinensis. In most cases, these leaves are protected from the sun in order to limit the chlorophyll production that makes their color lighter. As a result, we get the tea with an extremely delicate flavor, a tea which has no tannins of black tea and no grassiness of green tea, but white tea caffeine is renowned for its numerous health benefits.

Once produced in China only, white tea is now grown in many countries worldwide. Some of the quality white teas are grown in the Darjeeling region in northern India. Depending on region's climatic conditions and origins white tea, like any other tea variations, can vary in taste characteristics. According to recent health research results, health benefits of white tea are the most considerable as compared to any other Chinese tea made from Camellia sinensis.
