Product Description

Using the first sprouts of early spring, our White Tea is produced from 100% buds versus leaves. When picked, the buds have not opened and are still covered with silky silvery-white “down”. These downy buds hold the highest of honors as one of the top teas in all of China. The delicate nature of the buds mandates gentle, hands-only handling, and is only done for two days out of the year. No machinery is ever used to pick Dragon Herbs white tea buds. The buds are never stacked or turned during the drying process to prevent breakage or falling of the silvery down coating which results in a sweet, smooth, and silky tea. 

Flavor: Cheerful light brew with a mild and crisp sweetness accented by the slightest roasted note

Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting.

In a Desktop Botanical Garden™ Glass Tea & Elixir Maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the Elixir Maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.
