The leaves are usually picked in mid-March to early April and only on days when it is not raining or wet. Like champagne, White Tea can only be called \u201cWhite Tea\u201d if it comes from Fujian province. White Tea gets its name from a silvery colour covering the leaves and the closed buds, known as &#8216;Hao&#8217;.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover 4 Types of White Teas&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 \u2013 Yin Zhen Bai Hao (Silver Needle) \u2013 It is considered the rarest and most expensive variety of White Tea due to the fact that it consists of the best tea buds that are not yet fully opened. It contains 5% oxidation. When used in hot water, it has a sweet and light flavour;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 &#8211; Bai Mu Dan (White Peony) \u2013 Created from the youngest buds and leaves of the Camellia sinensis shrub. It is cheaper than Silver Needle. It also has a more intense and incorporated flavour;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 &#8211; Gongmei &#8211; Composed of the young leaves without buds that create a darker and more incorporated tea;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 &#8211; Shou Mei &#8211; Results from the harvest of the upper leaves, more mature and withered by the sun. It has less quality compared to the other White Teas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pai Mu Tan: the exclusivity of White Teas&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/en\/white-tea-pai-mu-tan\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White Tea Pai Mu Tan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the least processed tea harvested from Camellia sinensis. Compared to other teas, Pai Mu Tan is slightly oxidised, which means it has a low theine content. Nevertheless, it oxidises very easily. That&#8217;s why tea lovers recommend drinking it right after it&#8217;s brewed, or within the next 2 hours at most. Known for its floral aroma and sweet flavour, Pai Mu Tan is indeed a very delicate gem. In the White Teas category, Pai Mu Tan is the exclusive hand-picked tea. This is because for just one kilo of tea, about 30,000 tea buds are needed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pai Mu Tan is known as a powerful metabolism booster. Compared to Green Tea, Pai Mu Tan contains a higher concentration of catechins. In addition to slimming the belly, it increases concentration and improves mood. It is an excellent option to relieve stress and reduce fluid retention. Some studies indicate that Pai Mu Tan White Tea, by acting as a detoxifier of the body, promotes the proper functioning of the heart system.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1.jpg\" alt=\"White Tea | blog Ch\u00e1s do Mundo\" class=\"wp-image-5893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1-1024x694.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Cha-Branco-1-700x474.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3 White Tea Refreshing Summer Recipes&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iced Tea with Pai Mu Tan, Gorse and Hibiscus&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ingredients (for 1 person):<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Tbsp Pai Mu Tan White Tea;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 tablespoon of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/en\/gorse-flower-tea-pterospartum-tridentatum\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gorse<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Tbsp <a href=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/en\/organic-hibiscus-flowers\">hibiscus flowers<\/a>;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Litre (1000ml) of water;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Tea cup;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 <a href=\"https:\/\/chasdomundo.pt\/en\/lemon-peels-citrus-limonium\">Lemon peel;<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ice cubes;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Metal straw;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Pan;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Tea strainer.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to prepare:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by placing the Pai Mu Tan, the gorse and the hibiscus in a pan.
