White Tea: A Flat Tummy’s Best Friend

For the longest time Green Tea took center stage boasting its appetite suppressing properties, but now White Tea is stealing some of the limelight. While tea has always stolen our hearts, with its promise of potent calorie-free, health-boosting antioxidants, not all tea is created equal. So what’s the difference? Unlike green and black teas, White Tea is minimally processed and contains the highest concentration of antioxidants. Let’s face it; we could all use a little extra oomph when it comes to our well being. And if fighting the little evil-doers inside our bodies wasn’t enough, White Tea has recently made a name for itself with its ability to zap fat cells.
If you’re itching to add White Tea to your daily regimen, you’ll be happy to know brewing a cup is easy as pie. Simply place two grams of Tea in water that’s about 185°F and allow it to steep for 4 minutes. Avoid boiling water, which destroys antioxidants, but if the water is too cool, it will extract the bitter flavors overpowering the natural goodness of White Tea.
