For some reason I hear more about green tea when it comes to health issues, but there's something about a good cup of white tea that makes me feel pure and detoxified!
I wouldn't say one is more healthy than the other. Green tea and white tea both have excellent health benefits. Green tea is known more for its antioxidants, so that might be why it gets more attention in medical studies.Make sure and check out the [url=http://www.californiateahouse.com/Tea-Health-Basics/tea-health.html]'Tea Health'[/url] library for great research on health benefits for many tea types.
Gina, I don't think you can judge health benefits by the price. Japanese don't have white teas and they make almost only green teas. Some of them are really really expensive.
