Essence of White: Gentle Loose Leaf White Tea

"Essence of White is Lorantea's quiet tea collection, made for drinkers who prefer soft body, pale sweetness, clean aroma and a refined cup without heavy roast or strong bitterness."

White tea works well as a gentle entry point into loose leaf tea. Look for Moonlight White, Fuding White Peony and other soft white teas when you want sweetness, soft body, clean aroma and an easy brew.

This is a good choice for a calm daily cup, an afternoon tea, or a beginner-friendly route into traditional tea. White tea is still true tea, so it naturally belongs in a caffeine-aware tea routine rather than a caffeine-free promise.

  • Afternoon tea drinkers
  • People avoiding strong roast

✦ How to Choose

  • For soft floral sweetness: White Peony
