White teas originated from the Fujian region of China. Once considered only for the wealthy and privileged, today, this mild and delicate tea is enjoyed all over the world. The unique withering and short firing makes white teas the least processed of all teas. It is well documented that white teas are low in caffeine and high in antioxidants. Also containing high concentrations of the amino acid L-theanine, white teas help reduce cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improve artery function and reduce stress.
