White tea - Three times more effective than green tea

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.

Green and white tea are both seen as great natural remedies, however they are quite different. White tea is plucked form the plan when the leaf only a bud, while green tea is plucked after the leaf has been left to grow and ferment a little. This create a difference in their taste and benefits.

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 has remarkably shown to have much higher levels of radical fighting antioxidants than green tea. These are responsible for increasing metabolism rate, which in turn lets you lose weight while not doing any exercise at all.

White tea has a much more mellow and sweet taste as compared to green tea. Its delightful taste alone caused Chinese people to treat it as a delicacy available only to the upper class families. It makes it much easier to stick to a diet that includes white tea as more often than not you won't be able to wait for your next serving.

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 and cancer are two words you will hear a lot over the next few years. White tea has the unique ability as an alternate therapy towards cancer as it can inhibit cancer cells using the antioxidants present in it.

With so much gunning for white tea, you would now have even more reason to try it out and improve your lifestyle. - 15485
