白茶因茶樹品種、原料（鮮葉）采摘的標準不同,分為芽茶(如白毫銀針)和葉茶(如白牡丹、新白茶、貢眉、壽眉)。　　白茶主要品種有白牡丹、白毫銀針。白牡丹何以冠此高雅之芳名？白牡丹因其綠葉夾銀白色毫心，形似花朵，沖泡后綠葉托著嫩芽，宛如蓓蕾初放，故得美名。白牡丹是采自大白茶樹或水仙種的短小芽葉新梢的一芽一二葉制成的，是白茶中的上乘佳品。而采自大白茶樹的肥芽制成的白茶稱為 白毫銀針 ，因其色白如銀，外形似針而得名，是白茶中最名貴的品種。其香氣清新，湯色淡黃，滋味鮮爽，是白茶中的極品。而采自菜茶（福建茶區對一般灌木茶樹之別稱）品種的短小芽片和大白茶片葉制成的白茶，稱為 貢茶 和 眉茶 。貢茶的品質優于眉茶。Whiteteavarietiesbecauseofrawmaterial(freshleaves)pickeddifferentstandards,andisdividedintoYacha(suchasBaiHaoSilverNeedle)andleaftea(suchasWhitePeony,thenewwhitetea,tributeeyebrow,Shoumei).Themainproductsarewhitepeonywhitetea,BaiHaoSilverNeedle.WhitePeonywhythiseleganceYoshinacrown?WhitePeonyleaffolderforitssilver-whitecentsheart,theshapeofflowers,leavesafterbrewingHoldingabud,budlikeearlyrelease,itwasgoodname.WhitePeonyteaistakenfromthelargewhitenarcissusspeciesofshortshootsorshootofabudmadeof12leavesiswhiteteainthesuperiorqualitygoods.Thefattakenfromthelargewhiteteamadefromwhiteteabudscalled BaiHaoSilverNeedle becauseofitswhitecolorsuchassilver,namedaftertheneedlelikeappearance,isthemostexpensivevarietiesofwhitetea.Thefresharoma,liquorcolorlightyellow,tasteheavyandmellow,iswhiteteainNeed.Thefoodcollectedfromthetea(inteabushteaforgeneralOtherName)varietiesofshortfilmsandlargewhitetealeafbudsmadeofwhitetea,knownas tributetea and eyebrowtea.
