Three Major Benefits of White Tea Over Green Tea

Tea News · Nov 01, 2025

 White Tea and Green Tea are both among the six major tea categories. White tea undergoes a simpler production method than green tea. After harvesting, it only experiences slight fermentation of about 10% to 30%, without any frying or rolling, before being directly sun-dried or baked. Due to this straightforward process with minimal processing steps, white tea largely preserves the nutritional components in the tea leaves.

1. Experts point out that compared to green tea, white tea contains higher levels of tea polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants that can help boost immunity and protect cardiovascular health.

2. Additionally, tea polyphenols possess anti-cancer properties, making white tea theoretically more effective than green tea in cancer prevention.

3. Furthermore, white tea has stronger antibacterial effects than green tea. Dr. Milton Schiffenbauer from Pace University in New York recently noted that when he and researchers mixed white tea into toothpaste and applied it to experimental platforms containing bacteria, the toothpaste with white tea demonstrated significantly enhanced sterilization capabilities. Therefore, he believes that drinking more white tea contributes to oral cleanliness and health.

From these three major benefits, it's evident that white tea surpasses green tea. Moreover, white tea also possesses excellent heatstroke prevention and cooling properties, which are no less effective than green tea. Drinking a cup of white tea in summer rarely leads to heatstroke.
