White Tea and its benefits?Updated a year ago

Like almost all other teas, the white tea leaves come from the same Camellia sinensis plant. The name ‘white tea’ comes from the fine, silvery‐white hairs covering the plant's unopened buds. However, when brewed, the liquid tea is not white or transparent but a pale, light yellow. Although there exists no consensus on how white tea should be processed, there are two commonly accepted methods. The first involves minimal processing, where the loose leaves are withered for a long time before they are dried, and in the second, the loose leaves are first steamed or fired to deactivate polyphenol oxidase and then dried.

Fresh white teas are an antioxidant powerhouse. Antioxidants are the body’s protective agents against free radicals, chronic disease, and inflammation. Organic white tea has a high antioxidant value, which makes it an excellent ally for natural weight loss. Apart, from that white tea is a pleasant and refreshing zero-calorie drink which is a much healthier alternative to sugary beverages. Reasons weight watchers and dieters will especially want to note.
