White Ambrosia

About White Ambrosia

Tea Type : White Tea

Tea Forté White Ambrosia white tea is from the Fujian Province located on China’s southeast coast. This very rare white tea originates from the Great White tea bush which is only harvested in the spring during a very short time period. It is also known as “White Peony”, because of the similarity of its appearance to the petals of the peony flower. Unlike black and green tea, white tea is the least processed and therefore contains the smallest amount of caffeine. Enjoy this delicate cup of tea, high in antioxidants morning, noon or night.

Ingredients and certifications may differ slightly between our pyramid infusers and loose tea canisters for this blend, see package for details.

Steeping instructions

1. Heat water to 195˚F.
2. Place tea in cup and pour water over the leaves.
3. Steep for 2-4 minutes.
4. Enjoy!

For loose leaf iced teas, use 3 tsp per 8oz glass.

This is my favorite all-time today!

The flavors complement each other beautifully without being overpowering. The blend is just right and is perfect for both hot tea in the morning and iced tea in the afternoon. I even like it in the evening to replace dessert.

White Ambrosia, the best tea ever!

Many years ago, I had the treasure chest tea introduced to me from a friend. Since that time, White Ambrosia was our number one choice. After today, we are adding a couple more choices for tea. Thank you, Tea Forte’.

One of the best teas I've ever had!

I first had this particular tea at my friend's place. I immediately took a picture and researched it until I found it here! I'm not a fan of the price, but I understand why it's so expensive; it doesn't have a chemical taste like other white ambrosia teas and it only grows in one region of the world. Also, a disclaimer for any tea officianados, I was born and raised on tea because I'm Jamaican, so understand, this tea is NOT weak and doesn't taste watered down in any way. I'm extremely happy with my purchase, the swiftness of shipping, and of course the beautiful taste of my tea!
