7 Reasons Why You Should Make Drinking White Tea a Priority
White tea usually requires minimal processing compared to the other varieties such as Green, Black or Oolong. What tea aficionados call as white tea is basically the fine silvery-white hairs in the unopened buds of the tea plant. These leaves and buds are picked just before they are fully open, when they’re covered in fine white hairs, which will be then withered by air-drying, solar-drying, or mechanical drying. Interesting fact about White tea is that the beverage is not exactly white or colourless but instead has a slightly yellow or very pale yellow colour. When it comes to the flavour it ranks lower than black tea and green tea in terms of strength. It is even described as sweet and silky. It is said that the health benefits of White tea has been known to the Chinese way before it was made aware to the rest of the world. White tea contains a high amount of antioxidants, as well as polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins. These nutritional benefits have a positive effect on our health and well being.
