I heard from someone that a so called white tea is available in the market. I drink green tea but I never tried white. I want to know what the difference between the two besides from being the form of tea.

The major difference between White tea and other types of tea comes from which part of the plant is used in production. Most white teas come from the leaves and the buds of the plant at the branch tips, while other teas come from the upper leaves of the plant. In addition, the buds and leaves used in the production of White teas are picked during a small window, once a year in the spring.

All teas are processed differently, which again, separates them from each other. White Tea is processed least of all, lightly steamed or dried, giving it delicate, natural taste and maintaining more of the healthy properties found in all teas.

White tea is technically the oldest form of tea because it is really the first tea ever consumed and, the least processed. Other processing techniques later led to the production of other teas. White tea is potent, with three times the antioxidant properties of other types of teas.

I didn't hear about the white tea just till maybe one month ago.The different between green tea and white tea is their color.White tea would stay really ligh with the color, green tea would turn to dark green color or brown.Also they have a diffrerent health benefits.White tea is using in cosmetic and was long time ago taking like a elixir of beauty.This tea is very special and the also it is not pruduced that much like green tea so you can find it very expensive.
Green tea has many health benefits also.It can protect our body against cavities, cancer and gives us energy for whole day.

I thought white tea was the younger of the 2 teas, it is least processed and higher in antioxidants.
