White Tea (loose)

White Tea, the rarest and least processed of all teas, is traditionally harvested by hand, only a few days each year. Because White Tea undergoes virtually no processing and is made from the tender, nutrient-rich bud from the tip of the plant, it is considered the healthiest of all teas. It is revered for its detoxifying and anti-aging properties and is reported to have the highest antioxidant level (even higher than green tea!) and lowest caffeine content of all true teas. White Tea is the highest dietary source of the amino acid L-Theanine, which is known to improve mood, reduce anxiety and lower blood pressure. It contains great concentrations of polyphenols, a possible anti-cancer agent and it is not as strong in flavor as Green Teas. Its delicate, smooth flavor and ability to blend well with other ingredients make it an ideal choice if you are new to tea.
