Clipper White Tea (Organic, Fair Trade) - 40 Bags
White tea has a very refined, subtle, but deliciously rounded flavour.Young leaf buds are gently oxidised to create a clean and healthy cup that’s a powerful source of natural antioxidants. White tea is made from the same plant as black tea but only the youngest leaves are used.
Sourced from the Fuijan province in South East China, the traditional home of white tea, Clipper uses only the highest-quality sources and adds nothing artificial to their teas.
To make the perfect cuppa, always use fresh water and allow the tea to infuse for 1 to 2 minutes. As this is a herbal tea, it is best enjoyed without milk or sugar.
Ingredients: Organically Grown Fairtrade Tea, in an unbleached teabag.
Origin: Packaged in the UK from imported ingredients (China)

- WHAT ARE UNBLEACHED BAGS? So, what’s the difference between bleached and unbleached bags? When tea bags went into mass production, paper became the main choice of material to make them. Tea bags today are made from paper, which is a blend of wood and vegetable fibres. Over the years, many companies have experimented with different tea bag designs to make their bags more appealing. During this time the process of ‘bleaching’ was introduced as many companies felt that consumers would find white tea bags more visually appealing than their natural colour. Because of its popularity this process was adopted by many companies and many of them continue to make their tea bags using bleached paper today. So what difference does that make to you if you’re brewing a cup of your favourite blend? Well, tea bags that go through the bleaching process contain a mixture of chemicals whereas unbleached bags don’t undergo this unnecessary process. So if you’re sipping a cup of tea made from an unbleached bag, you know that you’re not only drinking something that tastes good, but something that’s just a little bit less interfered with!
