WHITE TEA

WHITE TEA

If you drink TEA for health reasons, you probably drink Green TEA, but research now shows us that drinking WHITE TEA is actually even healthier for you than drinking Green TEA.

WHITE TEA is the most minimally processed of all tea varieties. This helps preserve its powerful health benefits. Modern research shows that WHITE TEA retains the highest level of polyphenols. Polyphenols are disease preventative antioxidants and so we say, “the more the merrier!”

WHITE TEA is one of the rarest of all TEAS. The tender white buds are gently hand picked only 2 days a year to ensure that the leaf is still in the bud stage. Obviously, the yield is small and as the demand increases, it only stands to reason that WHITE TEA is one of the world’s most expensive TEAS.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF WHITE TEA:

1. WHITE TEA has more antioxidants than any other kind of TEA. Studies are showing us that WHITE TEA is the healthiest of all teas. WHITE TEA has 10 times the antioxidants found in vitamin E and 20 times the antioxidants found in vitamin C.

2. WHITE TEA reduces high blood pressure by inhibiting the formation of certain enzymes that cause constriction in blood vessels and TEA in general may inhibit oxidation of LDL (low density lipoproteins), sometimes referred to as "bad cholesterol." Scientists believe that oxidized LDL is a potent initiator of coronary heart disease.

3. WHITE TEA has lower caffeine than black and green TEA.

HOW TO PREPARE WHITE TEA:

To appreciate the unique, soft flavor and delicate nature of this TEA, preparation is of the utmost importance.

The water should be just short of boiling and the TEA should steep only 30-60 seconds.

So, enjoy your "cuppa" WHITE TEA knowing that you are partaking in a very special TEA once reserved for emperors and nobility!
