Answer 1

White Tea : Health Effects - Both White tea popularity and research are still in its early stages although its been produced for over one thousand years (first in China).


Early research shows promising effects on its anti-viral/anti-bacterial properties, its protection against skin cell damage, and colon cancer. Note: Click here for white tea processing information and white tea preparation information links.

White teas are made from buds and young leaves picked shortly before the buds have fully opened, which are steamed or fired to inactivate polyphenol oxidase, and then dried. Thus, white tea retains the high concentrations of catechins present in fresh tea leaves. The tea takes its name from the silver fuzz that still covers the buds, which turns white when the tea is dried. The exact proportion of buds to leaves varies depending on the variety of white tea. For example, White Peony contains one bud for every two leaves, while Silver Needles, the crème de la crème of white teas, is made entirely from downy buds picked within a two day period in early Spring. Green tea is made from more mature tea leaves than white tea, and may be withered prior to steaming or firing. Although they are also rich in catechins, green teas may have different catechin profiles than white teas. Tea leaves destined to be sold as white tea undergo even less processing than green tea leaves. Instead of air-drying, the unwithered leaves are merely steamed. The result? A pale tea with a sweet, silky flavor. People who have tried both note that white tea lacks the “grassy” aftertaste so often associated with green tea. Leaving tea leaves so close to their natural state means that white tea contains more polyphenols, the powerful anti-oxidant that fights and kills cancer-causing cells, than any other type of tea.

Answer 2

True green tea will come in packages or tins as a bunch of dried up buds\rolled up leaves. This is the best and has the most health benefits, Take about 9 of these buds and put a little bit of warm water in the tea cup for a minute then add boiling water, wate for the buds and leaves to unravel and then drink it with hte plant matter still in there. This is how my sensei who I apprenticed under in eastern herbalism taught me how to make and prepare teas.

Answer 3

All tea is natural.
100% organic means that no pestasice was used on the plants.
All tea is made from plant leaves or from buds and flowers of plants. So all would be natural.

Answer 4

Read the labels, especially the ingrediants. If it is 100% natural, it will have a list of the ingredients that do NOT deviate from what is stated on the box. For example, Safeway carries a peppermint tea that contains, in it's list of ingredients, the words" Peppermint leaves." That's all it has in it.

Remember to read the labels.

Answer 5

Look for ORGANIC. That way you know it's 100% natural.
