HOW TO MAKE WHITE TEA
Water: Fresh filtered water is preferred. Do not use distilled water. Depending on your area, tap water may contain chemicals or high levels of minerals which may affect the taste of the tea.
Temperature: Water temperature is just as important as timing. White teas like to be around 175-185˚F. If you use boiling water, allow it to cool off for a few minutes to bring the temp down before pouring over loose tea leaves.
Time: In general, White Teas seem to taste best brewed for 2-3 minutes. That said, you may prefer your tea lighter and/or stronger. Play around with the times to see what tastes best to you!
