White teas are considered by some to be the purest in the world. Spring buds are
plucked, dried, and sorted. They are not pan fired or steamed, or fermented; they are just
pure tea. Traditionally these are grown on small freehold plots, and some growers
produce only a few hundred pounds per year. White tea has a vetty high polyphenol
count.
Researchers at the Linus Pauling Institute in Oregon tested white teas on selected rates
to test for the ability of white teas to inhibit natural mutations in bacteria and to protect the
rates from colon cancer. Interestingly, white teas were found to be more effective than
green tea in inhibiting the early stages of cancer but researchers were quick to point out
that their study was on rats and the effects should not be extrapolated to humans. The
researchers also discovered that white tea contains higher levels of caffeine compared
to green tea brewed under the same conditions. They suggested that this could occur
because white tea oxidizes during withering whereas in green tea the oxidation process
is stopped early in the tea making process by steaming or panfiring.
