Chinese white tea - Tea or medicine?
White tea originally came from China about seven to eight thousand years ago. It was discovered on the plains of Fu Ding and Fujian which were in the eastern southern part of China. Ever since it was known the Chinese people took a liking to it and used it as a health energizer as well as an enjoyable evening drink.
I am pretty sure by now you know that all kinds of tea come from a single plant which is the Camilla Sinensis tea bush. How each tea gets its name totally depends on what happens after the tea leaves have been picked.
Knowing how each kind of tea is made is not important, however its is interesting to note that white tea gets its name from the silver sort of fuzz that covers the leaf buds. This silver fuzz then turns white when the tea is dried up.
Tea leaves meant to be sold as white tea undergo less processing than any other form of tea.
White tea leaves are cut when they are just small buds which make the resulting tea a better and healthier drink.
It has a light and delightful taste and you should steep it in boiling water the same way that green tea is brewed.
White tea contains less caffeine than any form of tea due to it being picked from the tea plant when it was a bud.
As we saw above white tea tastes awesome but besides its awesome taste it's also a good natural medicine. Studies have shown it increases the lipoprotein lipase activity in the human body which increases the metabolism rate thus helping in weight loss. It helps in prevention against cancer, it maintains lower levels of cholesterol, it helps in blood circulation by thinning the blood, reducing high blood pressure, stronger bones, healthier skin, and the list goes on and on. - 17273
