Buy white tea: Discover the world of delicate buds
Welcome to the fascinating world of white tea at Arteamony. Here you will find much more than just the well-known classics. Our selection includes rare treasures and pressed white tea. These specialties have the wonderful ability to mature, changing over the years and gaining depth. This is just the thing for anyone looking for real variety. If you want to order exceptional white tea, you've come to the right place.
White tea is considered the purest of all teas, as its production avoids almost anything that could alter its natural character. After harvesting, the young buds and leaves are simply wilted and gently dried. This usually takes place directly under the warm sun. This preserves the original power of the plant. Many tea lovers appreciate this variety for its incredible delicacy, as an infusion of silver needles tastes light, floral, and fresh.
But don't be fooled, because this type of tea can also be quite different. The varieties from Yunnan province in particular surprise with their strength and richness. They have an intense taste of honey, dried fruit, and wild herbs. This range of flavors is what makes this category so exciting. We offer both the delicate elegance and the mature power of old tea trees. Of course, you can buy this high-quality selection of white tea online. We offer you top quality at a fair price. Enjoying good tea does not always have to be expensive. Quality is our top priority.
Our range: A journey through the diversity of white tea
In our online shop, you will find a carefully curated selection that covers the entire spectrum of this noble tea family. We do not limit ourselves to the well-known standards, but specifically seek out character and quality. Whether you prefer the light freshness of Fujian or the deep sweetness of Yunnan, you will find what you are looking for here. Discover the different facets below and find your personal favorite.
The classic from Fujian: Bai Mu Dan and Shou Mei
Fujian province is considered the cradle of this tea culture. This is where the famous classics that we offer as loose white tea originate. A particularly popular representative is Bai Mu Dan, also known as White Peony. It offers a perfect balance of delicate buds and slightly larger leaves, giving it a full, floral flavor. For lovers of fragrances, we even offer a version with jasmine.
A more rustic but equally exciting alternative is Shou Mei or Gong Mei. This tea consists of more mature leaves and develops a darker color when infused. Its aroma is reminiscent of autumn leaves, nuts, and dried dates. It is very accessible and forgives even minor mistakes in preparation. These varieties are ideal for everyday enjoyment and showcase the authentic character of the Fujian region.
White tea from Yunnan & Moonlight: the sweet temptation
When we turn our attention to Yunnan, we discover a completely different world. The teas there are often harvested from old tea trees and have more body. A real highlight is Moonlight (Yue Guang Bai). Its special feature is the drying process, which is traditionally carried out overnight or in the shade.
The result is an incredible mildness without any bitterness. The taste is dense and almost reminiscent of honey. Compared to the light varieties from Fujian, this tea from China is softer and “thicker” on the tongue. It is a sweet temptation for anyone looking for an uncomplicated but profound tea.
Pressed white tea: tea cakes and bricks
One of our specialties is pressed tea. Similar to classic Pu-Erh, white tea is steamed and pressed into shapes. White tea cakes are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely practical for storage. The pressing process creates a microclimate inside the cake, which allows for wonderful maturation.
Over the years, the tea changes. It becomes darker and develops complex notes reminiscent of apothecary herbs or old plums. This is referred to as matured white tea. In addition to large discs, we also offer bricks and smaller shapes. Portioned white tea is an excellent way to get to know this fascinating world without having to break open an entire cake. Fermentation is slow and steady, making each vintage unique.
Specialties: Wild buds and mandarin
In addition to the well-known varieties, we also carry truly exotic teas that will enrich any tea table. These rarities offer completely new taste experiences:
- Lu Ya Bao: These are the buds of wild tea trees from Yunnan. They look unusual and have an intense aroma of coniferous forest, resin, and exotic spices.
- White Pu-Erh with Mandarin: A creative blend of fine Bai Mu Dan and natural mandarin peel. The fruity notes of the citrus fruit harmonize perfectly with the soft character of the tea.
- Golden Leaf: Large, golden-yellow leaves that produce a surprisingly sweet and clear infusion.
This selection shows how multifaceted white tea can be. It's worth thinking outside the box and trying these special flavors.
Preparation and enjoyment: How to make the perfect infusion
This type of tea is delightfully easy to prepare. Unlike green tea, it is very forgiving and rarely becomes bitter, even if you let it steep a little longer. To enjoy the full aroma, follow these simple basic rules:
- Water: Use soft, filtered water if possible so as not to distort the delicate flavor.
- Temperature: The ideal water temperature is usually between 80 and 90 degrees Celsius. For pressed specialties, it can even be a little hotter.
- Tools: For tea cakes, it is best to use a special knife to carefully cut off a portion without destroying the structure.
Always give the leaves enough space to unfold in the infusion. You can find comprehensive instructions for preparing white tea in our blog. This will help you get the most out of every cup.
Effect and caffeine: Gentle energy
We are often asked how strong this tea actually is. It does contain stimulating substances, especially in the young shoots. However, the effect is usually described as very gentle and long-lasting. This is due to the interaction with other substances such as L-theanine, which promote relaxation. You feel awake, but not nervous. If you would like to delve deeper into the subject, read our article on caffeine in tea.
Thanks to minimal processing, the plant's valuable ingredients are largely preserved. The intact leaves and buds are rich in antioxidants. Many people appreciate this natural effect as a soothing break from stressful everyday life. It is a luxury food that appeals to both body and mind, whether organic or conventionally grown.
