Benefits Of White Tea


One of the key benefits of white tea is the high-antioxidant content. Blends like Bai Mai Dan, Shou Mei, Dragon Well and Silver Needle are known for their anti-viral properties, which have been shown to help stave off infection and prevent tooth decay. Tea also benefits the immune system with its high-catechin levels and free-radical-fighting natural components. Many people reap the benefits of the lower-caffeine content in the form of higher concentration levels and less anxiety. The average cup contains no more than 20 milligrams of caffeine while a cup of coffee may have up to 200 milligrams of caffeine. These brews are also cost effective. You can steep the same leaves several times and get a different-tasting cup every time.

Benefit from White Tea from China

White peony is the second-highest grade of Chinese white tea. If young buds are plucked with two leaves intact, they're used for this blend. The leaves should be green/gray in color, and the bud should contain hints of silver. A key characteristic of this type of loose leaf brew is the presence of tiny, silver hairs. Growers cannot pluck the leaves on rainy days if they want to earn the highest grade.

The Tea Farm offers the highest-grade loose leaves from the Fujian Province in China. This online service provides enthusiasts with the added benefit of being able to sample hard-to-find, premium blends from remote areas of Sri Lanka, India and Japan.
