White and Green Teas
White and green teas are unoxidized teas made from withered Camellia sinensis leaves. Withered leaves are freshly plucked leaves that have been spread on a screen that allows air to remove moisture. An example of white tea is Yin Zhen (Silver Needle), which consists of the flowery pekoe leaf buds that are plucked on the day prior to their opening. Another popular white tea is Bai Mu Dan, which uses a good portion of bold leaves. They are pan-fired and dried, and undergo no rolling or firing. White teas yield a delicate infusion with mellow flavor.
To process green tea, the leaves are steamed or pan-fired to stop the chemical reaction that begins once the leaves are picked, causing oxidation to begin. Once the leaves become soft and pliable, they are rolled into various shapes, after which the tea continues to dry until it has less than four percent moisture content. Green teas include Gunpowder, a Chinese tea in which the leaves are rolled by hand into tiny pellets; it has a grassy, fresh taste that cleanses the palate. Dragon Well, another Chinese tea, has a nice aroma and a delicate flavor; Sencha, from Japan, is light in color, yet rich in the cup; lastly, Genmaicha is a Sencha tea that has been blended with toasted and popped rice. jasmine tea is created by scenting fine green tea with jasmine blossoms. Of the teas in this category, Jasmine Pearl and Jasmine Mao Fung are both very popular nowadays.
