What Are The Benefits Of Drinking Cold White Tea
Tea is a good source of antioxidants and natural caffeine. Chinese legend says that over 5,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 years ago, Chinese emperor Shen Nung was traveling across the countryside and found the water unfit for drinking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so he boiled it. Just before he took a drink, the wind blew a tea leaf into his cup. He allowed it to steep,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then drank the concoction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which was the first cup of tea. Tea is often served hot, especially in Asian countries, but may also be served chilled or over ice for a refreshing summer beverage.
White TeaWhite tea is difficult to produce since it requires a lot of care and effort. The best white tea is harvested in the early spring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and each bud and leaf is hand-picked. White tea must be grown in perfect climate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], altitude and soil conditions and cannot be picked on days when there is frost or rain. White tea is the least-processed tea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as it is not rolled or oxidized very much, which allows it to be rich in health benefits.
White tea is loaded with antioxidants,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which collect and neutralize free radicals in the body. White tea contains flavonoids and catechins,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two specialized antioxidant classes that slow the growth of cancer cells and prevent the growth of new cancer cells and reduce cholesterol. White tea has been found to thin the blood,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which helps lower blood pressure, and a Pace University study found that white tea extract slowed bacterial growth and may have anti-viral and anti-fungal properties.
Cold Vs. HotPhysiology researchers from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium discovered that the temperature of a variety of food and beverages affects the taste buds. They found that at 15 degrees Celsius,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the taste receptors in the tongue barely open,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so very little taste is transferred to the brain. At 37 degrees Celsius,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the receptors' sensitivity is over 100 times higher. An example of this is when you eat ice cream; you don't fully taste its flavor until it warms up and melts in your mouth.
Tea also has less flavor at colder temperatures, so you get more of the true flavor of the tea when it is warm. Drinking cold tea may be beneficial to you if you want the benefits of the antioxidants found in tea without so much flavor.
BrewingYou can gain the most benefits from your white tea by brewing it properly. This ensures the tea is allowed to steep to release the best flavor and optimize the release of the tea's antioxidants. You should start by using distilled water for the best flavor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then measure about 2 tsp. of white tea for each 6-oz. cup of tea you want to make. White tea should be brewed between 170 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit and should steep for two to five minutes. Allow the tea to cool at room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Use an airtight container to store the tea to keep it from oxidizing and losing the antioxidants.
BenefitsCold white tea contains fewer antioxidants than hot tea, but still will give you some benefits. A 2001 study at the Chinese University in Hong Kong found antioxidants to be stable when tea is in its liquid form. Adding lemon to your tea before putting it in the refrigerator can help preserve the antioxidants. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], diagnosis or treatment. LIVESTRONG is a registered trademark of the LIVESTRONG Foundation.
