Organic Sencha Green & White Tea with Mint & Osthmanthus 20 bags by Long Life Teas. White tea does not refer to black tea with milk, but rather to a specific form of tea in which the leaves and buds are simply steamed and dried. In this sense, white tea represents the least processed form of tea, since green, oolong and black teas undergo withering before various degrees of oxidation.
White tea also contains a higher proportion of buds, which are covered with fine 'silvery' hairs that impart a light white/grey color to the tea. White tea brews to a pale yellow/light red color, and has a slightly sweet flavor with no 'grassy' undertones sometimes associated with green tea. Organic Sencha & White Tea with Mint & Osthmanthus This special tea has all the beneficial attributes of a traditional green tea combined with the exceptionally rare white tea, which has been minimally processed so it retains more active polyphenols. The soothing effects of mint are enhanced bu osthmanthus (guay hua) flowers from the cassia tree, which have been used for centuries in China to scent tea.

SUGGESTED USAGE
For Herbal and black teas, bring fresh cold spring water to a rolling boil. For green tea, heat just until steam develops but not to a boil. Pour 1 cup water over each tea bag and allow to steep 3 to 5 minutes. The longer it steeps the better it tastes. Relax, enjoy the developing aroma and color, anticipate the pleasure of a perfect cup of tea.
Customize your tea - because herbs extract at different rates you can increase sweetness or intensity simply by steeping longer. Decaffeinate your green and black tea naturally! Pour hot water over tea and allow to steep for 30 seconds. Discard this water, add more hot water to complete the brewing process - steeping an additional 3 -4 minutes. This will reduce the caffeine by 80%.
