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.

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.

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 contains three times more antioxidants than green tea. Antioxidants have a lot of benefits particularly to people trying to lose weight. Antioxidants increase the metabolism rate which in turn lets you lose weight almost without effort. Antioxidants also help kill free radicals in the skin which are responsible for aging.

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 compared to green tea. Now, you can enjoy a refreshing drink without having to worry about any side effects of caffeine to your body.

white tea is in fact more effective as an alternative treatments against cancer than green tea ever will be. It simply has more antioxidants which can revert the ability of cancer cells as well at attempt to prevent new ones from forming

With so much gunning for white tea, you would now have even more reason to try it out and improve your lifestyle. - 15343
