What is special about this tea?

"Grown in China, this genuine white tea is made from the freshest tea buds of the season. They are plucked within two hours of sprouting, then left to lay in the sun. If your usual white tea appears green in your cup, then it’s probably a green tea; this, however, is the genuine white tea article. Possibly one of our most exclusive teas - refreshing, light and aromatic.

about teapigs

Nick and Louise started teapigs in 2006 with one aim - to get the English people drinking real tea again. They meet while working for a large tea company where they learn all about tea and drink a lot of it. And the more they learned, and the more they drank, the more they realized something important: that there is a vast world of quality teas that don't get the attention they deserve. And so the idea of teapigs was born. By quality, real tea, teapigs mean whole leaves, whole fruits, whole spices and whole flowers. Without the powdered ingredients found in most tea bags. It's all in the taste. The tea in most bags is crushed and made so that by the time it reaches the cup, almost all the flavor is gone. Teapigs deny this approach. The whole leaves, fruits, herbs, flowers and spices in teapigs teas are carefully and lovingly prepared to maintain every drop of that precious flavor.
