(NewsUSA) - White tea is the least processed of any tea and is widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. Recent studies indicate that compared to other teas, white tea contains even higher amounts of flavonoid antioxidants. With the health research looking very promising, white tea is well on its way to becoming the next health food craze.

White tea is harvested in the cloudy mountain mists of China. As might be expected, the flavor is subtle and mellow, creating a delicious taste sensation. Each cup of Salada White Tea contains 190 mg of flavonoid antioxidants, so it is just right for today's healthy lifestyle.
