White tea is quickly becoming one of the most popular drinks in the West. People used to drink white tea only in China and Japan, and only on special occasions. Now, people all over the world drink white tea every day.
White tea is special because it smells and tastes very light and delicate. It is much smoother and less bitter than black tea, and it doesn't taste grassy like many green teas do. Also, white tea has the same health benefits as green tea and maybe even more.
White tea comes from the same plant that makes black and green tea. But white tea is picked much earlier than other teas, when the buds still have fine white hair on them and the leaves aren't fully open.
White tea is also made differently than black and green teas because almost nothing is done to it. The leaves are just dried and then put in a steamer. The steaming stops the leaves from turning rancid, which protects the delicate flavour and keeps the natural antioxidants in the tea leaves.
Scientists have found that these powerful anti-oxidants slow down the ageing process and protect against serious diseases like cancer and heart disease.
It has been shown that the catechins in green and white tea help speed up the metabolism and burn fat, which helps people lose weight. Also, white tea seems to make the immune system stronger, which helps the body fight off bacteria and viruses. Like other teas, white tea has a lot of fluoride, which is good for your teeth.
A blend called white Persian melon tea is one of the best white teas you can get. This tea is made from the best white tea and melon nectar. It tastes fruity and fresh. The addition of melon not only makes the white tea taste better, but it also makes the health benefits better. Antioxidants are also found in large amounts in melons.
Melons have lycopene, vitamins A and C, beta carotene, and potassium. They also have an anti-oxidant called GliSODin, which can get rid of some of the body's most dangerous free radicals.
GliSODin also encourages our bodies to make their own anti-oxidants. Several studies have shown that it helps keep cells healthy and protects them from oxidative damage. The anti-oxidants our bodies make are much more effective at getting rid of free radicals than the anti-oxidants we get from food.
So, now that I've persuaded you that white Persian melon tea is a must-have drink, you're probably wondering how to drink it best.
First, you should start with high-quality loose tea. White tea is the rarest kind of tea, which is also why it costs the most. But even the best white tea is cheap; a cup of it costs less than most sodas and gourmet coffees. Make sure you buy your tea from a reputable seller to make sure you get the best tea. White tea isn't as dense as other loose teas, so you'll need more of it per cup than you would with most other loose teas.
Next, you should always use fresh, cold water when you make tea. Put the water in a clean tea kettle and heat it on the stove until it starts to boil. While the water is heating, put hot tap water in your teapot to warm it up. Once the water starts to boil, pour out the tap water and add the tea leaves. For white Persian melon tea, use about 2 teaspoons per cup. Wait a minute or so before pouring the water over the tea leaves. This makes sure that the water has cooled to between 170 and 185 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the ideal range for brewing white teas.
Depending on how strong you like your tea, let your white Persian melon tea steep for about 5 to 8 minutes. The tea will look light and golden. You can expect it to taste sweet and fruity, with just a hint of smoke. If you buy good white Persian melon tea, you should be able to get at least two steeps out of it.
White Persian melon is the best tea blend for making iced tea on hot summer days. The taste of the melon is somewhere between honeydew and cantaloupe. It makes me think of summer and is very refreshing. To make iced tea, you just need to make a big pot of tea and let it cool.
Because white tea has such a light taste, it's not a good idea to make it and then pour it over ice while it's still hot. If you do this, the tea may lose some of its flavour, making it taste too weak. Instead, let the tea pitcher cool down before serving. This keeps the tea's original taste by not letting the ice water it down too much.
White Persian melon tea can also be used in cooking. In fact, white tea instead of water is one of the best ways to poach fish. Make enough white Persian melon tea for about 2 cups. If you want, you can also add lemon, salt, and pepper to the tea.
In a pan on top of the stove, give the fish fillets a light sear. After the fish has been seared, add the seasoned white tea and let it cook until it is done. Use this recipe to make a mild and tasty fish dish with salmon, sea bass, or tilapia.
Try different things with white Persian melon tea, and you're likely to find many more ways to use it, both to drink and to cook. You'll soon see why this delicate white tea is one of the most highly valued in the world.
