Skip the Green - Go with White Tea

If you've never been able to get on board the green tea craze, your time has finally come. But nobody is going to force you to get with the green. In fact, you can probably skip it all together in favor of a milder tasting, just-as-healthy alternative. White tea is derived from the same tea plant as green tea, but in a slight different way. This means that the ingredients and antioxidants that make green tea so popular also are in white tea.

Green tea might get all the publicity, but white tea has been simply biding its time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to spring forth with its natural goodness.

The time has come.

White tea, along with its disease fighting properties and antioxidants, has sprung forth. It is sold in many forms including the classic tea leaf and inside a tea bag used for hot or iced tea, but white tea is also the base of many popular tea-to-go alternatives. Most recently, white tea took the role as the base for the natural energy drink, Revolution 3D.

In this particular combination, you have the power of super fruits such as blueberries and green apples which are known for their high number of antioxidants as well as their exceedingly nutritious qualities. You also have the vitamins you need on a daily basis. Finally, you have the base of white tea.

In this case, the white tea lends its mild flavor to create a delicious blend with the natural flavors of the super fruits. It also boosts the antioxidant power of the beverage. Finally you still get the many other benefits of white tea including lowering blood pressure, preventing cancer, building bone mass, and helping to keep your smile healthy and bright.
