Benefits of White Tea

Most people have heard of green tea and black tea, but what is white tea? Scientists are now saying that white tea may be even more beneficial for health then both green tea and black tea combined. Find out why!
Until just about a year ago, white tea was barely even known outside of China. It has been a staple to the Chinese diet for years now, but we in the States had never heard of it.

White, green, and black tea all come from the same plant. Black and green tea actually are the exact same leaf, but they are just fermented through a different process. This just gives them each a different taste, and different nutritional values. White tea comes from the same plant, but it is used way before the green and black tea can be used. When farmers pick the leaves before they have matured and budded, then you get what is known as white tea.

The big part of white tea is the actual preparation process. Unlike green tea or black tea, it is not really processed at all. The leaves are steamed which give it the pale look and the very smooth and silky taste.

Not only is the taste great, but it also has five times the amount of polyphenols that green tea has! Polyphenols are the chemicals that are actually responsible for burning fat in your body. It can also fight off viruses and dangerous plaques inside your body that can cause problems with your heart.

You can now find many versions of white tea mixed with fruits such as acai berry that will give it an even greater effect. The detox and weight loss effects of white tea mixed with the amazing wellness effects of acai berry make for a super supplement. You can get a free trial of white tea by clicking the link.
