Is white tea the next big thing?

The roots of white tea date back thousands of years when it was first discovered in china in the Fu Ding area in the Fujian province of southern china, and ever since Chinese people have used it as both a tasty cup of tea and as natural medicine.

You probably already know that the tea you drink all comes from a particular plant. The plant is referred to as the Camilla sensis plant. The difference arising in different brands of tea is due to the fact that the tea leaves are picked at different stages in their growth period.

While the different colors of tea are interesting, it is quite funny that white tea gets its name from the silver fuzz like material that covers its buds. This later does turn into white when the tea is dried up.

Tea leaves meant to be sold as white tea undergo less processing than any other form of tea.

The leaves are cut from the main tea plant when they are still buds, however this makes it more healthier as the antioxidants are preserved.

It has a light and delightful taste and you should steep it in boiling water the same way that green tea is brewed.

White tea has much less caffeine than green tea as it is plucked way before it is fully grown as a leaf
