As a healthcare blogger I get to see quite a bit of odd stuff.  Recently I was sent some something which told me about the benefits of white tea.  Now I admit I’d heard of white tea but at those prices had not been bothered to buy the stuff.    But this week I decided on a whim to take the plunge and check out white tea.

I have to say the first thing I noticed is that the tea really does not seem to be white when it is in the cup.  Have a look at the photo of the mug I just made.  What do you think?  Also please note how clear the desk of a healthcare blogger needs to be to keep up with all your informational needs.

However there are quite a few interesting claims made by fans of white tea which I thought I’d share with you:-

a)      White tea can lower both blood pressure and cholesterol.  This can reduce the risk of cardiovascular illnesses.

b)      It acts as an antioxidant.  For more information on antioxidants please have a look at our blog https://patienttalk.org/?p=252.

c)       It has been suggested but this is not proven that there are anti-cancer properties in white tea.

d)      Finally white tea does have antibacterial properties

 

And actually I’ve found it tastes very pleasant.  So it is going to be part of my afternoons in future!

But the real point of this blog is to find out if you are a white tea drinker.  If you are have you noticed any improvement in health since you started drinking it?
