Healthy Beverage: White Tea

What is white tea?

White Tea comes from the buds and younger leaves of the plant which are lightly processed to avoid oxidation and fermentation. Because white tea is carefully harvested and processed, it contains far more antioxidants than any other form of tea, even the highly popular green variety. Even beyond the high antioxidant content, the benefits of white tea outweigh any other tea.

Silver Needle is among the most revered of Chinese white teas, produced in Fujian province. Gathered only in the few days of early spring, the preparation of this tea is governed by strict requirements to ensure a premium product. This dedication to perfection is evident in the cup, which is sweet and very delicate with a clean, airy fragrance.
