White Tea - Natural, High in Health Benefits & Theine (Caffeine)
Processing
White tea is the least processed of all teas.
Typical processing: Picking, withering, drying
General
Due to the short processing, white teas are very rich in amino acids, tea polyphenols and many other natural substances.
Younger white teas (Silver Needle / Baihao Yinzhen) do also have a high theine (caffeine) content and are thus perfect for getting your daily kick. Get a more mature white tea (Shoumei) to enjoy the same health benefits but with low theine content.
Health Benefits & Traditional Chinese Medicine Nature
Due to their simple & short processing, white teas are "cold" in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
They thus have very good digestive properties, ideal for "countering" heavy meals (i.e. rich in meat) and for treating constipation. White teas have a high content of amino acids and are treasured for their body cleansing and skin purifying effects. Due to their "cold" TCM nature, they have good cooling effects, perfect for drinking during summer and high temperatures.
