White Tea Leaf

Key to Enormous Health Benefits…drinking White Tea

White Tea has been enjoyed for centuries by the Chinese emperors. One of the emperors by the name of Shen Nung was traveling with his party through the countryside where they stoped to get a drink of water. He didn’t like the taste of the water so demanded it be boiled to get rid of the taste. One of his servants boiled the water and set it in a cup to cool where a Tea Leaf flew into his cup. Shen Nung loved the taste and tea has been enjoyed ever since.

White tea however became a treasure during the Song Dynasty in China from 960-1279. The royal court made it the drink of choice and made it a tribute to the emperor.

In order to produce white tea, it takes incredible care and effort. There are special tea bushes that are selected and cared for over several years before they are harvested for the first time. They steam the chosen buds and then let them dry ever so slowly. White tea is not rolled, is minimally processed making it different from other processed tea. White tea is the least processed of all the tea and it is because of this that there are so many health benefits to drinking white tea.

White tea is packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants are essential nutrients that our bodies need in order to protect our bodies from free radicals. White tea is one of the best cancer preventing agents that we can use. White tea will protect you against all types of cancer such as colon, prostate and stomach cancers. In certain cases white tea has been shown to work as well as prescription drugs.

White tea can also help lower your blood pressure. White tea has been shown to thin the blood and improve the function of the arteries. This also helps protect us against strokes. There is a type of antioxidants called catechins found in white tea that have been shown to reduce cholesterol. The extra perk that white tea has to offer is that it increases good cholesterol and decreases the bad.

The combination of the above benefits then offers great overall heart protection. Researchers have also found that people that consume 2 or more cups of white tea a day are 50% less likely to die of a heart attack.

White tea also improves bone density and stronger than of those of people that dont drink white tea. White tea has also been shown to be a natural killer of viruses and bacteria. White tea gives our immune system and all over toning to help us better fight against a wide variety of diseases and it can also help ease the symptoms of HIV.

What I have listed is only a few of the health benefits that you get by drinking white tea. The real question isnt why should you drink white tea, it is why arent you drinking white tea. Stronger heart, stronger bones and a stronger immune system should be enough of a reason to drink white tea and get the rest of the benefits as well.
