Does Culinary Teas Pai Mu Tan White Tea contain caffeine?
Yes. White tea contains caffeine, though less than green or black tea—typically 15–30 mg per cup depending on steep time. It's an excellent choice if you want a gentle caffeine boost without the intensity of darker teas.
What is white tea, and how does it differ from green tea?
White tea undergoes minimal processing, often no heating at all after drying, which preserves its delicate flavor and light color. Green tea is typically pan-fired or steamed, resulting in a slightly grassier taste and more robust body. Both are lower in caffeine than black tea, but white tea tends to be the mildest and most subtle.
How should I brew Culinary Teas Pai Mu Tan White Tea?
Steep 1 teaspoon per 8 oz cup in water heated to 160–170°F for 3–5 minutes. Avoid boiling water, which can scald the delicate leaves and create bitterness. This tea can handle multiple infusions—each reveals new layers of flavor.
