White Tea: Better Health Benifits Than Green Tea




Topic started on 23-3-2006 @ 01:18 PM by The_Truth_Seeker


I have been a drinker of green tea for a while and have recently heard about white tea which I did not hear of before and have read that it has better health benifits than green tea has.

These are two sites with good info on white tea:
www.whiteteaguide.com...
chinesefood.about.com...

The first web site has a section with a list of health benifits of white tea.
White can lower blood pressure and cholesterol and is antibacterial and antiviral. I have not drank white tea yet so I do not know what it is like.

I drink green tea every day. I will keep an eye out for white tea and give it a try.

As a long-time tea drinker, I think they are equally beneficial. The only difference between the two is that white tea is steam-dried and green tea is air-dried.

I just tried white tea.
I wanted to buy plain stuff but I could only find flavored tea. Of the choices I picked Earl Grey.
I have no idea why it is called white tea. It was very dark, compared to green tea it looked like coffee. It tasted okay, I probably won’t buy anymore until I can find some plain white tea.

You should really try some better quality stuff. It's out there. As I mentioned in the post above, the only difference between white and green tea is that the former is steam-dried.

Based on your description, I don't think you got the good stuff. May I recommend that you purchase some from Upton Tea Imports. This is the purveyor from which I buy all our tea. They're on the pricey side, but their products are high-quality.

I would be happy to send you some of mine if you'd like. Just U2U me. I won't be offended if you decline and I'll understand the reasons why.

I've been drinking both white and green teas for quite some time now. I buy what is available at the natural food stores. I believe they are both great antioxidants and I prefer the flavor of the white tea over the green.
