The least processed of all teas, White tea, is where the unopened buds and young leaves covered in silver fuzz are withered and dried before using them. Producing a very light-coloured infusion with a mild flavour, white tea has lower caffeine content than green tea. Believed to have higher levels of antioxidants, white tea is best consumed without any additives at all. White tea has anti-inflammatory properties, and helps in improving heart health, aids in weight loss, reduces the risk of diabetes and cancer, and provides good dental health. It is also known to lower the risk of osteoporosis and prolong or delay the aging process for the skin.
