Like Green, Red, or Black Tea, White Tea is derived from Camellia sinensis L. It is a product with a novel and healthy concept, offering all the qualities and properties of Camellia sinensis, with a low content of xanthine bases (caffeine, theine, theophylline, etc.).
White Tea has established itself within the world of infusions, and although it is a more expensive product, it offers a delicate flavor, high antioxidant capacity, and virtually no contraindications due to its low caffeine content (approximately half that of Green Tea).
White Tea contains a higher amount of polyphenols and catechins compared to other products derived from Camellia sinensis, giving it strong antioxidant power that stimulates the body's defenses and helps prevent damage from free radicals. These effects are associated with the protection of cellular oxidation in tissues, providing an anti-aging action. Its antitumor activity is being investigated in experimental oncology.
The most notable properties of White Tea are the following:
– Reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
– Lowers the risk of developing cancer.
– Prevents heart attacks.
– Reduces cholesterol levels.
– Protects teeth from cavities.
– Prevents infections.
– Boosts the body's defenses.
– Combats fatigue.
Another property of White Tea is its slimming or reducing action, as it boosts metabolism and promotes the reduction of body fat and cholesterol. It is also a purifier, detoxifier, and a stimulant for digestive secretions.
