I've been drinking this Clipper organic white tea lately, it has a blackcurrant flavour to it. Is white tea similar to green tea? Is it good for you?

Well it says on the packet "with natural blackcurrant flavour" so it does taste like blackcurrant. That's the main reason I've been drinking it.

I drink it all the time. It is pricey but I still like it; I'm having some now since it is about 15 degrees here and I'm coffeed out...

It's very high in anti-oxidants, and definitely should not taste like blackcurrant! White tea is similar to green tea, in that it's undergone very little processing and no fermentation. But there is a noticable difference in taste. Most green teas have a distinctive 'grassy' taste to them, but white tea does not. The flavour is light and sweet.
You should steep white tea in water that is below the boiling point.
As for the name: the leaves are picked and harvested before the leaves open fully, when the buds are still covered by fine white hair. Hence the name.

It is similar to green tea, but it is a little less developed and has less of a grassy taste to it. It is very good for you also because of the low content of caffeine. It should also be steeped in water that is below the boiling point to get the full effect of flavor.

White tea is supposed to be better for you because it has more antioxidatnts then green tea.

Yeh. It's good for you. Actually it's better. It's made from a baby tea leaf. Green tea's are full grown tea leaves. :)

i thought white tea was green tea. just they were baby tea leaves instead of full grown ones (like that commercial with the baby tea leaves guy)

White tea is the best one for you; it contains even more antioxidants than green tea.

Yes, but I've not picked up a box of it to see what kinds of tea leaves they use in it.
