Organic Teas: White Teas

White tea is far more delicate than a Green Tea due to the time it is harvested, the particular variety of tea plant as well as the method used to dry the leaf. White teas are picked in the morning and then left to dry in the afternoon sun, they are the most natural of all teas. A White Tea has many downy tips signifying the bud was picked whilst very young. The younger tips have higher concentrations of antioxidants and lower concentrations of caffeine than other teas and it is therefore proving extremely popular. Recent studies have shown that White Tea contains compounds that can fight fat cells and help combat obesity.
