Majority of the teas come from the same plant, Camilla sinensis, which is a tea bush. The fate of a tea leaf after it is plucked decides whether it is going to be transformed into a black, oolong, or green tea. The deciding factor is the tea-making process.



White tea leaves are plucked before the tea plant’s leaves open fully, especially when the young buds are still capped with fine white hairs, thus the name “white tea”. These buds and unfurled leaves are handpicked and then dried, so the white tea leaves don’t oxidise. This minimal processing method and low oxidation lead to the final product: white tea. White tea originated in Fujian, China, in the 1700s and since then, Chinese tea drinkers have propagated the health benefits of white tea. But one of the biggest health benefits of white tea is its low or sometimes zero-caffeine content. On an average, a cup of it can contain anywhere from 15-20 mg caffeine compared to a Green tea which contains 30 mg of caffeine per cup.
