White Tea

White teas come from the leaves and the buds of the tea plant at the branch tips, whereas other teas come from the upper leaves of the plant. White tea is needed to get a fresh and strong infusion of antioxidants that strengthens the immune system and the body. Moreover, only a little amount of white tea leaves can be used multiple times to make several cups.

White tea unlike green tea does not contain the chlorophyll containing leaves responsible for a bitter taste as it is made of young shoots. A minimalist approach to processing gives white tea a much gentler and subtler taste.

Studies have shown that white tea has a concentration of antioxidants that is three times higher than in green tea. Essentially, white tea contains the same concentration of antioxidants as the young and fresh tea leaf buds that are still attached to the bush. This makes white tea the tea with the highest antioxidant content and a more pronounced effect on cancer, stroke prevention, cholesterol control, aging and general wellbeing

White tea is the purest and least processed of all teas. It has the least amount of caffeine and the highest amount of antioxidants of the three main types of tea.  The process of production of white tea maximises its health benefits and ensures that white tea maintains its freshness.
