Adagio TeasDrinking White Tea: The Key to Enormous Health Benefits

by Terry Schierer

White Tea has been enjoyed for centuries by the Chinese emperors. One of the emperors by the name of Shen Nung was traveling with his party through the countryside where they stopped to get a drink of water. He didn't like the taste of the water so demanded it be boiled to get rid of the taste. One of his servants boiled the water and set it in a cup to cool where a tea leaf flew into his cup. Shen Nung loved the taste and tea has been enjoyed ever since.

White tea however became a treasure during the Song Dynasty in China from 960-1279. The royal court made it the drink of choice and made it a tribute to the emperor.

In order to produce white tea, it takes incredible care and effort. There are special tea bushes that are selected and cared for over several years before they are harvested for the first time. They steam the chosen buds and then let them dry ever so slowly. White tea is not rolled, is minimally processed making it different from other processed tea. White tea is the least processed of all the tea and it is because of this that there are so many health benefits to drinking white tea.

White tea is packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants are essential nutrients that our bodies need in order to protect our bodies from free radicals. White tea is one of the best cancer preventing agents that we can use. White tea will protect you against all types of cancer such as colon, prostate and stomach cancers. In certain cases white tea has been shown to work as well as prescription drugs.

White tea can also help lower your blood pressure. White tea has been shown to thin the blood and improve the function of the arteries. This also helps protect us against strokes. There is a type of antioxidants called catechins found in white tea that have been shown to reduce cholesterol. The extra perk that white tea has to offer is that it increases good cholesterol and decreases the bad.

The combination of the above benefits then offers great overall heart protection. Researchers have also found that people that consume 2 or more cups of white tea a day are 50% less likely to die of a heart attack.

White tea also improves bone density and stronger than of those of people that don't drink white tea. White tea has also been shown to be a natural killer of viruses and bacteria. White tea gives our immune system and all over toning to help us better fight against a wide variety of diseases and it can also help ease the symptoms of HIV.

What I have listed is only a few of the health benefits that you get by drinking white tea. The real question isn't why should you drink white tea, it is why aren't you drinking white tea. Stronger heart, stronger bones and a stronger immune system should be enough of a reason to drink white tea and get the rest of the benefits as well.

White Tea - Boosts Your Immune System And Tastes Great

by Lee Dobbins

Drink to your Health with Teavana Tea

You are likely becoming very confused with all different tea varieties, green tea, oolong, black, Chamomile, and so on and so forth. Now, add white tea to that list. Confusing is it not? Of course it is. However, you should know that while there are many different names, that does not mean there are many different types of tea plants. No, in fact, all tea varieties come from one plant or one bush we should say, the Camilla Sinensis. It makes no difference what type of it you drink, it all comes from that same bush.

The difference really comes with what comes after the leaves have been plucked. Some are fermented, some are not, it all depends on the flavor and tastes desired. However, with white tea, it is derived from immature buds or leaves. This type is harvested just before the buds have opened fully. The name "White Tea" comes from the covering of the bud, before drying it is a silverish color, after drying it comes white.

The process of it's creation is short and sweet. There is no withering or fermentation involved. The leaves are steamed and that is all the process there is to producing it. What you get after processing is a silky, sweet flavor. However, the medicinal properties are extremely popular as well.

Research and studies have shown that because white tea leaves are left as close to natural as you can get, at the moment, you benefit from an increased number of polyphenols. This tea has been shown to contain a greater number of polyphenols then its cousins. Polyphenols are anti-oxidants that kills and fights off cancer causing cells. Of course, even if that were all the health benefits, that would be enough for many people.

However, there is more, in fact, white tea has been shown to boost the immune system of the body. It has properties that allows the body to fight viruses and fight bacteria that cause dangerous infections. Dental plaque may no longer be a problem with white tea drinkers either, because it has been shown to prevent dental plaque growth, thanks to its richness in fluoride.

Now that you know the good aspects of this tasty drink, you should also know the bad. It is expensive. For example, Silver Needles, which is the best variety and which is created entirely from buds plucked during the early spring, will cost Americans about twenty-five dollars for a forty to fifty cup, two ounce container.

However, for many people the delicious taste and health benefits a well worth the extra money.
