White Tea what it is

White tea is tea made from new growth buds and young leaves which have been steamed or fired to inactivate polyphenol oxidation, and then dried. The buds may be shielded from sunlight to prevent formation of chlorophyll. White tea therefore retains the high concentrations of catechins which are present in fresh tea leaves.

Green tea is made from more mature tea leaves than white tea, and may be withered prior to steaming or firing. Although green tea is also rich in catechins, it may have different catechin profiles than white tea. For white tea the little buds that form on the plant are covered with silver hairs that give the young leaves a white appearance. The leaves come from a number of varieties of tea cultivars, the most popular are Da Bai (Large White), Xiao Bai (Small White), Narcissus and Chaicha bushes. According to the different standards of picking and selecting, White teas can be classified into a number of grades, further described in the varieties section.

Produced almost entirely in China and being a speciality of the province Fujian, white tea is steamed and dried almost immediately after harvesting (in some situations in the fields themselves). It is possible that this method of minimal processing accounts for this tea's added benefits. Roderick H. Dashwood, an Oregon State University biochemist, has theorized that the polyphenols, called catechins, are destroyed through the processing used with other teas.

Kit Chow notes in All The Tea In China that in hard times, very poor Chinese homes would serve guests boiled water when they could not afford tea. Host and guest would call the water "white tea" and act as if the tradition of serving guests tea had been carried out as usual. (This particular usage is related to the fact that plain boiled water is called "white boiled water" in Chinese).

That is interesting...

White tea is visually stunning and attractive. Like an exotic plant, you could say it's weird at first glance. White tea gets its name from the silvery fine hairs that grow around immature buds that are produced by the tea factory.

Thanks For sharing best information about white tea. White tea is similar to green tea, in that it's undergone very little processing and no fermentation. You should steep white tea in water that is below the boiling point.

Such a nice topic. White tea has a lower caffeine content than green tea, depending on how you brew it. Most greens brew for a minute or so, some whites can brew for up to 7. Other than that, I've never ever heard of an overdose of white tea. You would probably have to drink like 100 cups a day to even start to worry.
