White Orthodox Tea , Kerela , India and It's benefits !

After a prolonged and tiring day, don’t we all want to just relax and sip on a cup of hot tea? Whether it is green tea or some other flavored drink, the mere thought of having our favorite beverage uplifts our mood, doesn’t it?

But, did you know there is a completely different variety of tea that can surpass the healthy aspects provided by your regular tea? I’m talking about white tea, which was acclaimed only in Asia until its recent popularity hike. Today, the West has woken up to the wonderful white tea benefits, and its healthful goodness is getting known all across the world.

It's found in abundance in China (Fujian province), Eastern Nepal, Eastern Thailand, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and India.

White Tea comes from the fine silvery-white hairs on the unopened buds of the tea plant (some people simply describe this as the “hair” of the immature tea leaves).

The flavor of white tea is very light compared with black tea and green tea. Some people describe the taste of white tea as sweet and silky. Some people who have tried both note that white tea lacks the “grassy” aftertaste so often associated with green tea. I personally think green tea has a much stronger taste than white tea.

Antioxidant:

White tea contains the same type of antioxidants as green tea. Some studies have suggested that white tea may increase antioxidant effects of your bodily organs as well as increase your plasma.

Anti-aging:

White tea can slow down the aging process and also reduce the risk of premature aging.

Healthy and smooth skin:

Because of the high percentage of antioxidant properties, white tea can also help to repair and maintain your skin and protect the skin against the effects of ultraviolet light.

Oral health:

White tea can help to reduce the risk of getting dental decay or cavities. Also because the color of white tea is a lot lighter than black tea and green tea it won’t cause your teeth to change color.

Some study results have suggested white tea can also have a positive effect on diabetes. White tea may provide some kind of relief from diabetic symptoms and decrease your plasma glucose levels and increase insulin secretion.

Other health benefits of white tea are similar to green tea’s health benefits. These including reducing the risk of various cardiovascular disorders, provide natural anti-bacterial properties, help with weight loss, lower bad cholesterol and much more.

But as always, please consult a medical professional if you have any health issues. This article just provides suggestions. You may drink white tea, green tea or black tea but remember a balanced diet, not just a tea diet, is the best. Don’t over consume any type of food or beverage and remember no single food or drink is 100% perfect.
