White: I agree with dr. Leaderman. White tea is the least processed of the green teas. More processing oxidizes the tea leaves & enzymatically changes polyphenols into less heatlhful substances. White tea is picked when there are tender, new buds & is then steamed. This allows the polyphenols to remain intact.
