Anji bai cha (Chinese: 安吉白茶) or Anji white tea[1] is a green tea produced in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, China.[1]
This tea cultivar was discovered in 1982, is not as widely planted as other teas and has a short harvesting period; it is a comparatively rare tea.[2]
It is called "white" tea although it is a green tea.[3] The long, narrow leaves are yellow in colour and have a recognisable fold along the length of the leaf.[4]
A 2010 study found that the tea is high in polysaccharides which can inhibit the hemolysis of blood cells.[5]
Further Research found that the tea plant has low chlorophyll and poly-phenol content (which explains the whitish-green tea leaves) but is very rich in amino acids. It has almost twice the amount comparing to other green teas. Amino acid helps suppress cortisol and reduces stress.[1]
