White Tea
People who drink white tea reap the benefits of higher-antioxidant content and less processing than green or black varieties. Many of the blends are named after the regions where they're grown. Some of the most popular varieties include Bai Mei Dan, Shou Mei, Silver Needle and Dragon Well. Many blends are combined with flowers and spices, such as jasmine, roses and chrysanthemum, for added flavor and aroma. Some people attribute the health benefits to the age of the buds. White blends come from young buds picked early. These buds are allowed to wither naturally instead of undergoing pan-frying like green leaves.
