White Tea
Soft, airy and subtly sweet-clean with light citrus, floral and musk. It's gentler and less green than green tea, and many versions have almost no actual tea note.
No special cautions at normal use; follow your supplier's usage limits.

A little lore
White tea is made from young Camellia sinensis buds and leaves that are minimally processed, often still covered in fine silvery down.
