Audrey white tea

[Guest guest]

I love wite tea, it is very mild.  Some teas have such a bitter after taste.

Green tea is bitter as it sits.  Now jasmine green is less bitter.

I also enjoy the African honeybush and the red roobios.

I have already had some today -- it was excellent. Very mild, almost sweet.

None of the bitter taste you get from some tea. The White Peony King is the

one I got, she told me that was their best-selling tea.

Someone was talking about tea not keeping them awake because there is

no caffeine..

 

Well, tea has three stimulants, all in the caffeine family.. Green and

white tea has much less caffeine though.. I believe if someone has a

sensitivity the the caffeine in coffee and dark teas, maybe you could

sleep better, if you do not have a sensitivity to the other stimulants..

 

Another angle is that we all build up a tolerance to these stimulants

if we have them everyday (then we can sleep better too).. Lastly, I

believe white tea should be brewed at 180 (google for more), and green

tea from 140F to 170'ish.. Higher tempertaures make them bitter, and

I suspect pull out more stimulants..

Oh, yes tea absolutely does have caffeine in it! Even decaf has a tiny bit

(decaf doesn't have enough to keep me awake, though). I think white tea has

so little that it won't affect me, but I sure wouldn't drink regular black

tea before bed.

 

Here's a question for you.... how do I tell how hot my water is? What kind

of thermometer do I use?
