Botanical Name: Camellia Sinensis
Origin: China
English Name: White Tea C/S
French Name: Thé Blanc Coupé
Also Known As: White Leaf Tea, White Camellia Tea
Part Used: Young leaves and unopened buds of Camellia sinensis
Description: White Tea C/S is prepared from the young leaves and unopened buds of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia and widely cultivated in mountainous regions with cool climates and well-drained soils. The plant typically grows as a compact shrub or small tree reaching 1 to 3 metres in cultivated settings, producing glossy green leaves and tender silvery buds during early spring harvest seasons. These young shoots are carefully selected at peak freshness to ensure consistent colour, texture, and botanical quality.
After harvesting, the leaves and buds are gently withered and air-dried using minimal processing to preserve their natural appearance. Once dried, the material is cut and sifted into uniform fragments, creating lightweight, free-flowing pieces that include visible pale buds and soft green leaf sections. This careful process maintains the botanical identity of Camellia sinensis while producing a consistent cut suitable for blending and infusion.
The finished White Tea C/S displays a soft silver-green to light olive colour with fine leaf pieces and occasional fuzzy buds. The texture is delicate and crisp, remaining stable during storage while retaining its natural aroma and visual character. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling, accurate measuring, and uniform blending in tea and botanical preparations.
Uses: White Tea C/S is commonly used for tea-style infusions, herbal and specialty tea blends, and beverage formulations where lightly processed leaf material is preferred. It is also suitable for cosmetic formulations, bath products, botanical sachets, craft projects, and educational collections demonstrating tea leaf harvesting stages and plant morphology. The cut and sifted format allows for precise portioning, easy blending with other botanicals, and versatile use in both home and professional environments, offering consistent quality and visually identifiable leaf and bud fragments.
Storage: Put white tea in a dry, odorless, cool environment.
