It's no longer a secret: drinking tea regularly is very beneficial for health. Compared to coffee, tea is a refreshing drink, light in theine, rarely bitter. Its countless virtues no longer need to be proven today. There are many types of tea: black tea, red tea (rooibos), green tea, matcha tea... All contain excellent properties, including polyphenols with antioxidant effects, but organic white tea remains, among all teas, the drink richest in vegetable tannin. Numerous scientific studies have proven that drinking white tea every day and at any age is excellent for health. If organic Chinese white tea is the best tea to consume regularly, it's thanks to its composition and post-harvest processing. Unlike most other teas, white tea consists of buds and some young shoots, which reduces the number of annual harvests to just one, during the first days of spring. Minimally handled, white tea only undergoes withering and drying: it is therefore lightly oxidized. The best quality white tea comes from the Fujian region in China, where climatic conditions are most conducive to tea cultivation.
