Yes, There Is Such Thing As White Tea


If you want to taste the tea which is near perfection, then you must try to taste white tea. It is an amazing and rare kind of tea, wherein its level of antioxidants is three times more than the ordinary black or green tea. White tea is really special since it is air-dried in sunlight, the process which preserves its potency unlike other kinds of tea which are either steamed or rolled.

 If you have gone to either China or Japan, you might have caught some people picking the best part of the plants in just a matter of few days during spring. Usually the part that gets to become the white tea, which is the rarest among teas, is the bud of the plant and the time that it must be harvested to produce the exquisite white tea should be correct and at the proper season.

 White tea is very rare and is often priced higher than green tea and black tea. The price difference could be attributed to the quality of the tea produced, the level of antioxidants present in each kind, the difficulty in acquiring said teas. Considering that white tea could only be derived during spring and from certain parts of plants only, makes it a very costly tea at that.

 On the other hand, green tea which is more popular due to its affordability and availability is also good for the health and also provides the body with adequate antioxidants. This also goes the same for black tea, another type of organic herbal teas.

 Organic herbal teas come from different kinds of rare plants. These plants are needle white, yin zhen, snow buds, jasmine silver, white pearls yin zhen, pai mu tan, peach blossom, honey dew melon, plum berry, lemon berry, and so many others.

 If you would ever have a chance to visit Japan or China, don miss out on the opportunity to taste freshly picked organic white tea. You could buy it from some stores but it is quite different when it is fresh. Its rare quality makes it a special tea that you have to taste, if not today, then maybe on the next spring.
