Abstract

White tea is a rare tea that is obtained from the silver buds and young leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). The leaves are harvested manually, then dried after the withering process, and the oxidation process does not take place. White tea has the shortest processing time compared to other types of tea. This issue leads to maintaining large amounts of phytochemical contents of this type of tea, which brings many health benefits. White tea contains a wide range of useful compounds such as antioxidants, antimicrobial and anticancer compounds. The name of white tea is derived from the appearance of this tea because it is covered with white fluff. In this study, the properties of white tea, its comparison with other types of tea, the compounds found in white tea and the role of these compounds in human health have been discussed, and it provides an overview of the origin, processing, phytochemistry and potential health benefits of white tea. White tea has many medicinal properties and for this reason it is known as a precious and exquisite treasure of medical science.
