White Tea
White tea has a delicate taste. It
consists of the young leaves and buds of the tea plant. Since
white tea has not been oxidized during processing, its health
benefits are greater than those found in green tea.
White tea has the most subtle flavor of all the teas, it is
milder, contains less caffeine and thought to have the most
antioxidant out of all the teas. Its refreshing and does not
have an overwhelming tastes or scent compared to other teas.
Only the youngest buds are selected for production of white tea,
giving the tea the white-silvery hair on its buds. The
difference between green and white tea is the production process
where white tea does not go thru pan-frying, but instead allowed
to wither. |
