White Tea Vs Green Tea

[laura010]

White Tea is primarily an unoxidized and uncured tea leaf, obtained from Camellia Sinensis. Only made from leaves of Camellia Sinensis, green tea is minimally processed and the tea goes through negligible oxidization during processing. Now we know that these two are from the same plant and the same geographical area. Here is more on white tea vs green tea.
Green tea has a grassier aftertaste, which everyone may not like. On the contrary, white tea has a subtle sweet flavor and is smooth. Normal green tea has more caffeine than white tea, although the usage and its mixture with water can alter the [url=http://www.lookchem.com/Caffeine/url]caffeine[/url] content. According to several scientific studies and experiments, white tea retains three times higher concentration of antioxidants than green tea.
Studies show that white tea edges ahead in anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties in comparison with green tea. Both the types have catechin, though white tea can have more catechin content. While green tea benefits range from keeping away risks of heart disease and many other things like cancer to bone density and cognitive function and so on, the fluoride content is less in white tea.
Green tea is almost twice as less expensive than white tea, because it is plucked from special bushes. Moreover, they are scarce and need to be treated in a delicate manner.

They are both good. Both have anti-oxidants and other health benefits. I could drink both!
