The buds are covered in white down like hairs giving them a silvery appearance. Pai Mu Tan White Peony is the next grade of white tea which contains a mixture of buds and the first two leaves, or “a bud and two leaves”. It is more common and less expensive than silver needle.

Fermentation is the old term used for oxidation. Fermentation does not actually take place when processing tea, as no alcohol is produced. Green tea is processed by steaming or heating (pan firing). This makes the polyphenol oxidase inactive at the very outset, and no oxidation occurs. This is the reason green tea is rich in polyphenols (catechins). EGCG is one of the polyphenols found in green tea, a potent antioxidant that is said to fight cancer. White tea is the least processed of all teas, followed by green tea, Oolong tea, then black tea is the most processed. In black tea the catechins are oxidized to theaflavins and thearubigins, also beneficial polyphenol antioxidants. These may help lower LDL cholesterol. | Previous Posts
