Tea has been an intrinsic part of the Indian ethos and perhaps the best accompaniment to scrumptious snacks. The growing health consciousness among Indians has given way to healthier artisanal tea blends such as oolong tea, white tea and green tea. The white tea is among the most minor processed variants of all teas and is considered the most superior flavour loaded with bountiful nutrients and richness of antioxidants. Derived from Camellia sinensis– the same plant that produces black tea and green tea, white tea takes its name from a fine, silver needle in the bud that imparts it a sweet and light taste. Its origins can be traced to antiquity. According to a legend, tea was accidentally discovered by the Chinese emperor Shen Nung about 5000 years ago when a few tea leaves fell into his boiled water.
White tea is known to offer a plethora of health benefits.
So, if you are a fitness freak and health is among your top goals for this year, consider replacing conventional Sugary chai with white tea.
For brewing white tea, all you need to do is to:
- Boil the water and add two teaspoons of tea leaves.
- The mixture should be allowed to steep for a few minutes and then strained.
- You can add a dash of honey, and your cup of white tea is ready to drink.
Here a few advantages of a cuppa of white tea over your regular tea:
