The Best Tea: Black, Oolong, Green, White?
Poziom:
Temat: Życie codzienne
Most tea fans know that all tea comes from
the same source: the Camilla Sinensis tea
bush. This includes black tea, oolong tea,
green tea and white tea. The chinese have
been using tea to treat everything from headaches
to depression…
Herbal teas are not actual teas since they
don't come from the tea plant… they are
herbal infusions.
So what is the best tea?
Black tea is the most popular type of tea
accounting for 90% of tea sales in the west.
Black tea derives its dark color and full
flavor from a complex fermentation process.
Because of this, black tea has the highest
amount of caffeine but the lowest amount of
phytonutrients and antioxidants.
The next popular tea is green tea… Green
tea contains antioxidants in high concentrations,
it tastes good and it has a lower content
of caffeine. Green tea is not fermented but
it's steamed and its health benefits have
been the most researched of all teas. It's
a great anti-aging drink that reduces your
risk for cancer, lowers bad cholesterol and
also gives you a small boost in energy…
Oolong tea is in between black tea and green
tea in terms of processing and oxidation..
It's partially dried, crushed and fermented…
White tea is subject to the least possible
processing. Tea leaves that are picked at
a younger age, when the buds are still covered
in fine, white hairs.
Because they are so gently treated, white
tea retains the highest amount of beneficial
antioxidants.
Studies have shown that white tea has a concentration
of antioxidants that is three times higher
than in green tea and about twelve (12) times
as much antioxidants as fresh orange juice.
White tea contains less caffeine than green
tea, about 15 mg per serving compared to the
20 mg for green tea
The anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial
effect of white tea is also greater than that
of green tea.
Possible anti-obesity effects of white tea
have been demonstrated in a series of experiments
on human fat cells
Here's a tip - to increase the bio-availability
of the phytonutrients and antioxidants in
tea, add some lemon or lime juice to it.
Remember, getting a great tasting tea is all
about having the water temperature exactly
right and steeping the tea for the right amount
of time….
As a general rule, water should be near the
boiling point but not yet boiling, and your
tea should be steeped for 3 to 5 minutes..
although different teas require
different
times and temperatures…
