White Tea Health Benefits
 Just like its fellow green tea, White Tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. The difference with white tea is that the leaves are picked and harvested when the buds are still covered by fine white hair and have not fully opened yet.
White tea is a bit more rare than the other in the sense that it is the least processed type of tea. Which in turn, makes it more scarce and definitely more expenseive. You're looking at price up to $25 US for about 2-ounces of silver needle white tea.
Most white teas are produced in China and Japan, but some fine white teas are also produced in the Darjeeling region of India. White tea comes in different varietes keep your eye out for names such as: silver needle, white cloud, white peony, and golden moon.
 White tea has a little different taste than green. Instead of having the grassy taste like green tea, white tea has a light, delicate, naturally sweet taste. The thing that most people don't know is that white tea has a load more of antioxidants than any other tea!
The reason being that the tea leaves are not processed as much as the others. The vital antioxidants (flavanoids) are kept at the highest level because of the way they are handled. Don't worry... Green Tea still contains a high number of polyphenols and is very effective in fighting free radicals, but not as potent white tea.
