It has long been a well kept Chinese secret and only recently have scientists uncovered the benefits it possesses. It is the least processed form of tea and tastes delightfully better than all other kinds. So, what exactly are the benefits of white tea?

White tea has been seen to makes bones much stronger. Research on those who drink white tea and those who don't has revealed that white tea users have a slightly stronger bone density and strength.

White tea aids blood pressure. It does this by thinning the blood thus reducing overall blood pressure. It also helps improve blood circulation which has been one of the things green tea can not do.

Researchers have also discovered that people who drink 2 or more cups of white a day are almost 50% less likely to die after suffering a heart attack.
