Robertet’s white tea flavors blend well with other tea profiles and fruit flavors. The flavors are natural, water-soluble and work well in a variety of applications. White tea is comprised of the young/immature leaves and buds of the tea plant. The tea’s white or silvery grey color is attributed to the high proportion of unopened buds. White tea’s flavor is much milder than both green and black tea.
