Tea: What is White Persian Melon Tea?

White tea is gaining popularity in the Western world very

rapidly. Renowned for its mild, sweet flavor and enormous health

benefits, white tea appeals to a whole new crop of tea drinkers.

White tea has a mild flavor that attracts those who might find

black teas too bold and green teas too grassy.

The flavor of white tea is described by most tea drinkers to be

light, airy and a bit sweeter than black or green tea. It is

rarely bitter, even when over brewed and is best enjoyed without

sweetener or milk. It brews to a paler color than black or green

tea and has a very delicate aroma.

One of the finest white teas available is a blend called white

Persian melon tea. This tea is a delicious blend of the finest

white tea with the addition of refreshing melon.

Like other white teas, white Persian melon tea comes from the

camellia sinensis plant. But, white teas are harvested much

earlier than other teas, before the leaves are fully open and

while they retain fine white hair on the buds. White tea is also

processed differently than black and green teas, in that it

receives the very least processing of all the tea varieties.

The leaves are simply dried and steamed. The steaming prevents

the leaves from oxidizing. This protects the delicate flavor and

helps the tea leaves retain their natural anti-oxidants.

The anti-oxidants in white tea make it one of the healthiest

drinks you can find. For centuries, the Chinese have used tea for

medicinal purposes, but the modern world seems to just be

beginning to understand the healthful properties that a regular

diet of tea can afford. The anti-oxidants in white tea have been

shown to fight cancer, heart disease and high cholesterol. White

tea has also been shown to improve the immune system, too.

In particular, white tea seems to have the ability fight off

bacteria and viruses. White tea is also high in fluoride, making

it great for preventing tooth decay and inhibiting the formation

of plaque.

White Persian melon tea gives you the sweet flavor and enormous

health benefits of all white teas. However, White Persian Melon

tea has the added flavor and benefits of the melon. Melons are a

powerful source of anti-oxidants in their own right, and the

combination of the two may make White Persian Melon tea one of

the healthiest you can drink.

Melon contains an anti-oxidant known as GliSODin. This particular

anti-oxidant is known to neutralize some of the most destructive

free radicals in our bodies. However, GliSODin also has the power

to stimulate our bodies to produce its own anti-oxidants, and has

been clinically proven to help maintain cellular health and

protect against oxidative damage in several studies.

In fact, GliSODin is so powerful that it has even found to be

effective when used topically. It's likely that we'll begin to

see white tea and melon used together for skin care products as

well as for drinking! The ability to make our body produce its

own anti-oxidants may mean that consuming melon has a longer

lasting health benefit than many other high anti-oxidant foods.

Brewing and Enjoying White Persian Melon Tea

All white tea should be brewed using water that is heated to just

below the boiling point. Let it steep for about 5 minutes before

drinking.

You'll find that White Persian Melon tea has a bit more flavor

than plain white tea. The melon adds a fruity flavor and enhances

the sweetness, making this one of the most exotic white tea

flavors.

White Persian Melon tea is a favorite for making iced tea. The

addition of melon makes it one of the most refreshing teas;

perfect for a hot day. To make iced tea, simply brew several

servings of tea at once and allow to cool.

Since white tea is so delicate in flavor, it's not wise to make

white tea and then pour it over ice while hot. Doing so may

dilute the flavor of the tea to a point that it tastes too weak.

Instead, allow the pitcher of tea to cool before serving. This

keeps the original flavor of the tea by not allowing the ice to

dilute it too much.

White Persian Melon tea is, of course, wonderful taken hot, as

well. Because it is very fluffy, it requires a bit more tea per

cup to brew. Begin by using about two teaspoons per cup and

adjust to your taste. The best loose white teas can easily give

you two good infusions. Always use fresh cold water and bring it

to a boil. Then let it cool for a minute or two before pouring

over the tea leaves.

White Persian Melon tea makes a relaxing cup for drinking just

before bed. Because white tea has far less caffeine than black or

green tea, it won't interfere with your sleep.

White Persian Melon Tea can be difficult to find. White tea in

general is rare; far less of it is grown each year. And, because

White Persian Melon tea is just one blend of white tea, there is

even less of it available. But, when you can find White Persian

Melon tea, it is a treat, indeed.
