Tea has been shown to possess many potential health benefits due to its high concentration of antioxidants. White tea is a form of tea produced from the Camelia sinensis (tea) bush. All of the true-teas, such as White, Black, Green, Oolong and Pu’er are all made from the leaves and or buds of Camelia sinensis. Their differences emerge as a result of the variations in the techniques used to pick the leaves and process them raw into the “tea” we use. White tea uses the least involved of these techniques, making white tea the most natural form of tea, potentially enhancing its positive health benefits.
Ceylon White Tea is produced exclusively from the delicate buds of the TRI 2043 cultivar of Camelia sinensis, which are hand-picked and hand-dried under the tropical mountain sun, preserving all of nature’s goodness with no further processing. Here are some of the potential health benefits you may enjoy when you regularly indulge in a luxurious cup of Tips of Gold, ethically grown Ceylon White Tea.
