The power of plants

White tea is a rare, highly prized plant in China in the Fujian mountains. It was once considered the path to everlasting life, and it gets its name from the silvery-white leaf buds picked during the first days of spring. Unlike other teas, white tea does not undergo any fermentation. It is just withered and dried. This simple procedure preserves all the qualities of the leaf and explains its high content of anti-free radical polyphenols.
