What is White Tea Matcha?

It stands out because it is made from the youngest and most delicate tea leaves of the Camellia sinensis tea plant, which undergo minimal processing. Unlike green tea leaves, which are steamed or pan-fired and sometimes rolled, white tea leaves are simply handpicked and gently dried, preserving their natural structure and nutrients.

This minimal processing means white tea leaves are less oxidised and not fermented, allowing them to retain higher levels of antioxidants and a more delicate, subtle flavour. As a result, it offers a fresher, lighter taste and a greater concentration of beneficial compounds compared to traditional green tea matcha.

The production process begins with carefully handpicking the tender buds and young leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. These leaves are then gently steamed or air-dried to preserve their natural nutrients and delicate flavours. Once dried, the leaves are finely ground into a smooth, silky powder using traditional stone mills.

The result is a light, refreshing tea with a mild, grassy sweetness and soft earthy undertones. White Tea Matcha is celebrated for its high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nourishing choice for those seeking both flavour and wellness benefits.
