White tea - Three times more effective than green tea

By Jack Robbins

White tea and Green tea both find their roots in China dating back to a few thousand years ago. Green tea has become quite popular over the past decade particularly with its ability to aid weight loss. Both originate from the same Camilla sinensis plant.

The two herbal teas find their differences in benefit and taste due to the way they are plucked from the Camilla sinensis plant. White tea is plucked at a very early stage when the leaves are still buds, while in the case of green tea the leaf is left to grow a little before it is then plucked.

There are a number of reasons that White tea is more beneficial than green tea. It won't be long before White tea replaces green tea as the tea for weight loss and anti aging enthusiasts.

White tea has been shown to increase the metabolism rate in a person, this in turn helps you lose weight almost effortlessly. It does this through the increased antioxidant levels it possesses which are far more than those present in green tea.

White tea has a much more mellow and sweet taste as compared to green tea. Its delightful taste alone caused Chinese people to treat it as a delicacy available only to the upper class families. It makes it much easier to stick to a diet that includes white tea as more often than not you won't be able to wait for your next serving.

White tea contains much less caffeine than green tea, making it an instant healthy drink. It also does away with any caffeine side effects you fear you might have while drinking tea.

White tea and cancer are two words you will hear a lot over the next few years. White tea has the unique ability as an alternate therapy towards cancer as it can inhibit cancer cells using the antioxidants present in it.

With so much gunning for white tea, you would now have even more reason to try it out and improve your lifestyle. - 16650
