The white stuff
Move over green tea - the latest thing is white tea, according to Dragonfly Teas which has launched Organic Swirling Mist White Tea.
This variety of tea produces a clear infusion with a lingering fragrance and a fresh , mellow, sweet taste. One serving of white tea can be brewed several times, with each step revealing another element of flavour.
Grown only in China, high in the mountains, Swriling Mist White Tea is made using the first tender leaf buds. These are carefully selected and plucked by hand.
