The power of plants
White tea is a rare, highly prized plant grown in China in the Fujian mountains. Drinking it was once considered the path to everlasting life and it gets its name from the silvery-white leaf buds which are picked during the first days of spring. Unlike other teas, white tea does not undergo any fermentation, it is just withered and dried. This simple procedure preserves all the qualities of the leaf and explains its high content of anti-free radical polyphenols.
