Heath Benefits Of Chinese White Tea

February 24th, 2008 · No Comments

White tea was created in Fujian province China, and is mostly harvested in Fu Ding and Zheng He County. It is the tea that is the less processed making and the most natural one.

But, what is white tea? Most tea aficionados know that all tea comes from the same source: the Camilla Sinensis tea bush. Whether a tea leaf winds up in a cup of green, black, or oolong tea depends entirely on what happens after it is plucked. Black tea derives its dark color and full flavor from a complex fermentation process that includes exposing crushed tea leaves to the air for a strictly defined number of minutes.

White tea is made from immature tea leaves that are picked shortly before the buds have fully opened. Of course, an exotic appearance alone doesn’t explain white tea’s sudden surge in popularity. The secret lies in what happens after the buds are plucked. The tea takes its name from the silver fuzz that still covers the buds, which turns white when the tea is dried. The secret lies in what happens after the buds are plucked. Tea leaves destined to be sold as white tea undergo even less processing than green tea leaves. Instead of air-drying, the unwithered leaves are merely steamed.

Today, everyone from chefs to medical researchers is praising white tea’s delicate flavor and purported health benefits. Market researchers predict consumers will soon share their enthusiasm, turning white tea into one of the hottest new food trends.
