While a close kindred of green teas, which seem to be ever-present in the news because of reports about it helping to prevent disease, white tea is not as well-known, and many people would be completely surprised to learn that white tea is actually considered to be more potent in its’ health giving properties than leaf tea .
White tea comes from the same plant that produces green teas and black tea, and is a specialty of the Fujian province in Southern China. It is unique in that this tea is considered the youngest of all teas because it is made from the new growth buds of the Camellia sinensis plant.

Being picked just before the buds have a chance to open means that it can only be harvested once a year and this makes it all the more scarce, and also much more expensive, than the other tea varieties that are derived from the same plant.
Because this tea is derived from the new buds, they are only able to be plucked on time per year, making this tea rather a rare find, and also quite a bit more costly than the other varieties that are plucked at other times from the same plant.
While there is still much research to be done to verify reports, it is thought that, just as green teas are more powerful in its’ health giving properties than black tea because it goes through less processing, white tea has even more potent healing effects because of its’ purity and the fact that its’ components are most close to how nature created them. It seems to be much better than the more common tea extract.

Recent research that has been conducted revealed results that indicate that white tea potentially has the greatest potential for health benefits of any of the teas that are derived from the Camellia sinensis plant.
It is known that white tea is packed full of anti-oxidants, which are known to be very effective in combating free radicals and the considerable damage that they do to every function and system in the body.
A potent source of anti-oxidant, that is natural and without any observed side effects, can undoubtedly be beneficial to the body, even without having further research on specific areas.
According to various studies, the EGCG found in green and herbal tea can block mutation of cells, reducing cell damage; can inhibit growth of tumors; and can block liver enzymes which convert pro-carcinogens.
