White tea is a type of true tea (from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis) which is minimally processed. White tea is usually considered as a category of its own, alongside green and black teas.

There is no agreed-upon definition of white tea, but one defining distinction between white tea and green tea is usually that white tea is allowed to wither or dry naturally, rather than being steamed or pan-fired to stop oxidation. This is why white tea has a more muted color, in contrast to the bright green color of green tea.

How is green tea imported to Australia from China?

In China there are tea markets where buyers go to look at the tea, smell it, and to try to find the best tea. This is not easy because the tea is grown in the outer reaches of China and China doesn't deal easily with tea importers. They want to keep their middle men handling the tea and not let the importers work with the farmers directly. Once the tea is found, a deal made and then the tea is imported.
