With summer, comes several sun-filled mornings and a need to start a vibrant caffeine infusion that we consider healthy especially at the beginning of the day. Even though a lot of people opt for coffee or even green tea; we recommend a cleaner alternative to these options- White tea (especially brews that include silver needle buds). The antioxidant benefits are numerous and irreplaceable; In fact, it will have you keeping a Limoges kettle and cup by your side from time to time.
According to Mariage Frères tea taster Kitti Cha Sangmanee:
“Silver needle tea is different from black or green varieties because the fresh leaves are less processed. The young buds are selected, hand-plucked, carefully withered and dried under the sun. To put it another way: Think of it as the health equivalent of towel-drying your hair instead of blow-drying it.”
Silver tea often has the subtle aroma of mandarin and truffle from plants that were originally grown only in China (now there are also varieties in Nepal and Ceylon). It involves very minimal processing and gives you an opportunity to enjoy the natural properties of the young white needle buds that turn up in the tea.
In Sangamanee’s words “The antioxidant power is very concentrated and while it has very reduced caffeine when compared to coffee or green tea”. It has high levels of free radical–fighting ingredients—polyphenols, in particular which make it easier to digest and soothes the stomach rather than adding acidity.
New York City nutritionist Marissa Lippert credits it with calming inflammation, heart disease, and cholesterol—all of which might just add up to the perfect Sunday morning post-workout cup.
