About The Snowy Valentine
Our Snowy Valentine (White Tea with Rose Petals) is the least processed of all our teas, and hence considered the healthiest. It has the highest level of anti-oxidants of any tea, such as catechins and polyphenols, which help strengthen the immune system. White teas are known for their exceptional delicacy, rare and beautiful aromas and flavors. White tea is produced from silver buds, grown lovingly in our tea estates nestled in the Himalayas situated over 4,000 to 6,000 feet in altitude. The young tea buds are picked shortly before the buds have fully opened and are still covered by fine white hairs, hence the name ‘white tea’. Requiring great care and effort, white tea can only be produced for a short time each year, making it rare and precious.
