Unlike black and green teas, white tea isn't rolled or steamed, but simply aired dried in natural sunlight, "this preserves more of its antioxidant properties" about three times as many antioxidant polyphenois as the green tea. White tea leaves are bigger, lighter and more delicate than that of Black, Oolong and Green Tea, therefore you should use more leaves per cup than with other teas. | |
