Ready for the white tea revolution?

By Jack Robbins

White and green tea, both come from China and are plucked from the same Camilla sinensis tree that is ever prominent there. Whilst green tea has been enjoying fame over the past decade, a new revolution in weight loss is beckoning for the new kid on the block, White tea.

Green and white tea are both seen as great natural remedies, however they are quite different. White tea is plucked form the plan when the leaf only a bud, while green tea is plucked after the leaf has been left to grow and ferment a little. This create a difference in their taste and benefits.

White tea has recently been seen to show amazing characteristics particularly with regard to weight loss and anti aging. It surpasses some of the benefits of green tea almost three times in effectiveness.

White tea has remarkably shown to have much higher levels of radical fighting antioxidants than green tea. These are responsible for increasing metabolism rate, which in turn lets you lose weight while not doing any exercise at all.

White tea tastes simply awesome! This alone is responsible for people keeping in line with a herbal tea diet, they simply find it hard to resist. The Chinese people love the taste so much that it was historically treated as a delicacy reserved only for the rich. Weight loss enthusiasts will in fact find it hard to have a diet that does not contain white tea.

The caffeine levels in white tea are much less in comparison to green and black tea. Now, you can enjoy a cup of tea without having to worry about the side effects of caffeine.

White tea has been seen to be more effective against cancer as compared to green tea. This is again due to the higher concentration of antioxidants present in it which can inhibit cancer cells and prevent formation of new ones.

Green tea has had its days, watch out for a new form of tea taking over the herbal tea arena by storm. - 16887
