White Tea Health Benefits
Is White Tea as good for you as Green Tea?
Is white tea as good for you as green tea?
I have been drinking a cup of green tea each day, but I also like the flavor of white tea. Does white tea provide the same health benefits as green tea does?
the only difference between white and green teas are in the processing of the Tea Leaves. Green teas are more processed (oxidized) than White Teas. White tea comes from the youngest tea leaves and therefore, have a more subtle delicate flavor. As far as being as good as green tea, I believe so. Although I’m not positive. Green teas are known to be high in antioxidants and EGCG (catechins). I’ve also read that white teas are as healthy for you, but has more Caffeine. That’s still up for debate.
Nevertheless, I like to vary my tea between black, green, and white teas. Just so I don’t get bored with one tea. Note a lot of green and white teas come flavored with fruit or honey or any other flavor (like vanilla). So you’re never gonna be bored with tea choices..I wouldn’t worry which is better, just enjoy all! good luck
