Origins and Health Benefits of White Teas

Teas have been celebrated for centuries for their medicinal properties as well as enjoyed for the soothing peace their warmth brings.

RariTeas are crafted using only white tea leaves which are shown to be as much as three times higher than green tea in their concentration of tannins, the flavonoids which give tea its antioxidant properties.

White tea refers specifically to the young buds and leavesharvested from the tips of the branches only in the spring. These younger leaves are then processed as little as possible to preserve the antioxidants which would otherwise be lost in the harsher processes of making the green tea which cure the older, mature leaves.

RariTeas are infused with Jasmine, Chrysanthemum, Marigold and other time honored plants and herbs around a central purpose. Each RariTea bloom is in this way crafted with its own benefits for body and mind.
