White tea seems to be around a lot at the moment. I think it is the youngest tea - younger than green tea, the packets say dried and minimally processed?
Do you know anything about white tea?
Have you used white tea yet?
I'd also like to know how much processing goes on with it and if anyone know if it is only dehydrated (so it isn't heated about 40degC), and ok for a raw foodist to have?
Please resond if you know anything about white tea?

Drinking tea does great good to our health. I do not know nothing about it .But I think if we could drink tea a little bit, this will surely do us good . Have a good day.

Studies suggest that white tea,which is made from buds and young leaves is one of the least processed teas.I do not know the exact temperatures used for heating.It is said to have the greatest benefits.White tea has the highest concentration of catechins, which in a US study of mice were linked with inhibiting the growth of tumours.They say more research is needed to confirm tea's cancer fighting abilities.White tea has more antioxidants than vitamin E.White tea extract can destroy 80% of certain bacterial viruses in ten minutes.Black,white and green tea have all been shown to help keep the heart healthy.I have not used white tea.But I have read about it.I love my green tea and I have plenty of it every day.I should try out the white tea.
