Your Another Option For White Tea

Just like those other teas, white tea come from the Camellia sinensis plant. The leaves are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully, when the buds are still covered by fine white hair. As a comparison, white tea is scarcer than the other traditional teas.

White tea is similar to green tea, in that it's undergone very little processing and no fermentation. But there is a noticeable difference in taste. Most green teas have a distinctive 'grassy' taste to them, but white tea does not. The flavor is described as light and sweet.

If you are drinking tea for your health, you may want to consider white teas. There is also considerably less caffeine in white tea than the other. Some studies have also shown that white tea contains more active cancer-fighting antioxidants than green tea.

White tea contains higher catechin levels than green tea due to its lack of processing. Catechin concentration is greatest in fresh, unbroken and unfermented tea leaves. Furthermore, one study examining the composition of brewed green and white teas found that white tea contained more gallic acid and theobromine.

As white tea is made out of young leaves and buds, it has more of amino acid theanine (has relaxing and mood enhancing properties) than green and black teas which are made from older leaves.
