White Tea Tips

 

Be Sure To Get Quality Loose-Leaf Tea
The best form of white tea can be found only in loose-leaf form, and not pre-packaged and highly processed packets. This form of white tea is superior in quality, flavor, and health benefits, than bagged tea, which is usually made from a large amount of the dust and waste left at the bottom of bins containing the quality white tea leaves and buds.

Brew It In Hot Water

White tea must be brewed in purified water that is extremely hot, but not quite boiling. If you would like to extract more of the flavor of the tea, you can steep the tea in the hot water for longer than the usual 3-5 minutes. Use 2-3 teaspoons of loose-leaf white tea per cup, depending on your taste.

Drink At Least 3 Cups Per Day

Most studies have shown that white tea is beneficial to your health with 2-3 cups per day, but we suggest drinking a minimum of 3 cups per day. If you would like to save some of your tea when drinking multiple cups per day, feel free to save the tea used in the first glass, and use them for the second, but just let them steep for 2-3 times as long as they did the first time around.

Make It Routine

Take a few minutes out of each day in your life for tea. Spend 10 minutes or so just quietly relaxing and enjoying your tea. Find a quiet and comfortable place to lounge, and relax your body by taking light, slow, deep breaths. If you have any music that really relaxes you, put it on quietly. If you do this, you will help relax your body and mind, and reduce stress that most of us suffer from if we don’t take a few minutes out of the day to do so, as well as getting the full health benefits from a delicious cup of tea.

Give The Gift Of Tea And Health

If you have any tea lovers in your life, then giving them a gift of some fine quality white tea will really be appreciated. Not only is it a delicious and beautiful gift to give in the case of the Silver Needle variety, but you will take comfort and pride in knowing you are giving the gift of health to someone that you care about, and that is an awesome feeling.

Try All Of The Varieties Available

Be sure to try a few different types of white tea! While quality is quality, we all have different tastes and preferences. Go ahead and purchase a few different types if your budget permits it, and try them all to see which one you really enjoy the most. You can really get a feel for each variety if you switch varieties each month until you’ve tried the few that you think you might like.
Good tea can improve your life. Never be afraid to try new things, especially new teas, as you are really missing out on something that has been around and enjoyed for thousands of years.
