Time to Try Something New?
BrewItUp July 28, 2009
So you’re bored with black tea and green tea doesn’t cause much of a stir either. Perhaps it’s time to throw caution to the wind and taste some tea with a little added zip. White tea is characterized by its less processed flavor and comparatively higher caffeine levels. Most white teas are brewed from buds and young leaves, which harbor a unique flavor that is lost by the time they age enough to make black tea.
White tea also boasts some notable health benefits. Many white teas contain high levels of catechin, an antioxidant that has been shown to reduce the signs of aging. Some studies have even concluded that white tea has anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties – more so than even green tea.
