White Tea Collection - Delicate, Naturally Elegant Blends for the Discerning Sipper

White tea is the least processed of all traditional teas. It’s made from unopened buds and tender young leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. These buds are handpicked in early spring, often just after sunrise when the leaves are rich in amino acids and antioxidants, then withered and sun-dried — never rolled or pan-fired. This preserves their natural structure, enzymes, and bioactive compounds.

Our white teas are sourced from the Fuding and Zhenghe regions of Fujian province, China — the historical birthplace of white tea. Grown at elevations between 600–1,200 metres, these gardens benefit from cool temperatures, high humidity, and frequent mist, which slow leaf growth and concentrate nutrients. The terroir gives Tchaba’s white tea its elegant sweetness and silky texture.

White tea is rich in catechins, polyphenols, and flavonoids, making it a powerful anti-aging ally. It may help:

• Boost skin elasticity and reduce oxidative stress
  
• Support collagen production
  
• Strengthen immune function
  
• Promote gentle hydration and detox

Its low caffeine content makes it a great all-day wellness drink.

Unlike green (steamed or pan-fired) and black (fully oxidized) teas, white tea is simply dried, preserving its light body, floral aroma, and natural sweetness. It’s lower in caffeine, higher in delicate antioxidants, and gentler on the system.

• Silver Tips (Silver Needle): Made from only the unopened buds. Extremely delicate, smooth, and rare, with notes of honey, hay, and wildflowers.
  
• Pai Mu Tan (White Peony): A mix of young buds and two leaves, offering a richer body and more pronounced notes of peach, florals, and melon.

Both are exceptional, but Silver Tips is more limited in supply, labor-intensive to harvest, and hence priced higher.

Our white teas are:

• Hand-harvested in early spring, when nutrients peak
  
• Picked before the buds unfurl, preserving active compounds
  
• Grown in elevated, certified gardens using sustainable practices
  
• Blended by sommeliers, not machines

Supermarket white teas often use mature leaves, lowland crops, or broken dust, sacrificing quality, flavour, and benefits.

Yes. White tea is known for its anti-aging properties, thanks to a high concentration of antioxidants that fight free radicals, reduce inflammation, and support cellular repair. It’s often favored in beauty and wellness circles for its glowing-skin benefits.

White tea contains 15–30 mg of caffeine per 240 ml cup — significantly less than green or black tea. It’s ideal for those who are caffeine-sensitive or prefer a calming cup in the evening.

Consuming 2–3 cups per day provides a gentle, consistent intake of antioxidants and hydration for skin, digestion, and immune support.

White tea is light and refined. Expect floral, fruity, honey-like, or melon notes with a clean finish and almost creamy texture. It’s soothing, never overpowering.

• Use 2–3 grams of loose leaf or 1 sachet per 240 ml cup
  
• Heat water to 75–85°C
  
• Steep for 3–5 minutes

Tip: White tea is delicate — avoid boiling water and over-steeping to preserve its soft flavor and avoid bitterness.

• Silver Tips – Rare, delicate, and elegant with honeyed undertones
  
• Pai Mu Tan – Fuller-bodied, floral, and perfect for daily sipping
