The Colloid Base

In China is where many different types of teas originated including green tea and white tea. Both of these teas for example come from the plan Camellia sinensis and each carries their own benefit. White tea originates from a region of China known as Fujjian. It is an uncured and unfermented tea that has not been processed through heat, instead it is fast-dried. There are many different types of white teas in China that are still widely consumed and that have gained international acclaim.

One excellent benefit of consuming white tea that has been long studied in the Western world is its anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. Many families still use the different types of white tea today to fight infections. There have been documented reports in the Chinese literature as well, that using white tea may have immunological properties that may aid in fighting different types of infections. This may be of particular importance, especially given the ever growing resistance to so many antibiotics. If studied more extensively, white tea may become a very reasonable alternative or complement to traditional medicine. Like many other herbs, it just needs many more years of research but once proven its benefit may well become a revolutionary natural therapy.
