Premium White Tea Online | Elegant & Light Teas

White tea, compared to green or black tea, has a very mild and delicate flavour with a subtle hint of sweetness. While green tea often presents grassy and vegetal notes, and black tea is robust and malty, white tea is particularly gentle and subtle. It is often described as refreshing and light, with delicate floral or fruity undertones.

Our selection offers a wide variety of white teas: single origin teas from organic or naturally farmed gardens in China, traditional jasmine white teas fragranced with whole flowers, and delicious, naturally flavoured blends with real essences, flowers, and fruit pieces. Our artistically tied flowering teas are very popular as gifts, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know for a perfect cup, in one place.

What makes White tea different from Green or Black tea?

White tea is the least processed type, made from young leaves and buds and often sun-dried to preserve its natural flavour and nutrients.

Does White tea contain caffeine?

Yes, in small amounts—generally less than green or black tea—making it a gentler choice.

How should I brew White tea for the best flavour?

Use water at 80–85°C and steep for 3–5 minutes, avoiding boiling water to protect delicate notes. Also keep it in an airtight container, away from light, moisture, and strong odours to maintain its delicate aroma and flavour for longer.

Are AVANTCHA’s White teas organic or sustainably sourced?

Many are organic or naturally farmed, and all are sourced from single-origin gardens with sustainable practices.
