Darjeeling White Tips White Tea - Loose Leaf

The Darjeeling White Tips White Tea blend from English Tea Store is quite possibly the most delicately flavored beverage available in the world today. The tea is produced using the two leaves found around a new tea shoot at the very top of the bushes. These are hand sorted and then gently steamed and dried under a soft heat. The result is an incredibly light fresh flavor with mild muscatel notes, typical of all good Darjeelings, rounded by underlying tones of white wine. Pair the unbelievable flavor with the fact that White Tips contain at least 3 times the antioxidant polyphenols of green or black teas, and have lower levels of caffeine, and you have a winning cup.

Caffeine content: Low - This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.

Antioxidant Content: High - The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted. (Test results based on 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with lot, grade of tea, testing method, temperature of water and freshness of tea). More antioxidants are extracted from tea (L. Camellia Sinesis) the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.
