How many people drink it?

Most days I have 5 cups a day. It's supposed to be better for you than green tea and I think it taste better than green tea. It's more expensive though because it's not as common as other teas. I only buy organic, the non organic brands don't seem to taste as good.

One of the reasons why I like it is because it seems to increase my sex drive. Having 5 cups in one day or a week probably wont do it, but over time it may. I've never read any studies to back this up but it seems to make me feel this way.

It just seems to make me feel a lot more healthy all around. I never feel fatigued no more since I've been into it. White tea actually has a very low dose of caffeine, probably the lowest out of all teas. I'm no tea expert though and I could be wrong. From saying this, a coffee may give you a boost for 30 mins to an hour or so. After that, you are feeling fatigued again. Probably worse than before. White tea on the other hand doesn't give you a power boost like other drinks with high caffeine but it stops fatigue for a longer period and without a crappy after affect.

As people say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. I would also think, around 5 cups of white or green tea a day would also keep the doctor away.

All that said, I believe white tea brings white teeth. Lots of it though, not just little. It's very good for your oral health. My teeth are sparkling. It also makes your skin look much healthier.

5 cups a day isn't too much to ask. I wack it in a thermos every night for work the next day. I much prefer that over a coffee or a can of coke.

I drink it occasionally, also certified organic like you do, but I don't experience any change to libido from it. Granted, I don't tolerate caffeine well in general. As for tooth-whitening, I couldn't say because I practise oil-pulling for that so I wouldn't know if the tea was adding to that effect.

Far as I know, the only major difference between white and green is that white tea comes from younger leaves that have not had the chance to absorb as much fluoride. The tea bush/tree is supposedly very prone to fluoride absorption.

If I really need an energy boost to get through the day, what works best for me is tisane with honey and lots of cinnamon taken in the morning, usually the "Throat Coat" blend by Traditional Medicinals.

It doesn't. Synchronicity does not equate to causation

Actually, that much tea of any type is not good for you. Caffeine is simply NOT good for you in any way. It is not particularly harmful, but it is not good for you.

Glad to see you have an interest in promoting a healthy lifestyle, for a change. It could very well have the overall effect of increasing libido in some people.

Both white tea and green tea are rich in antioxidants, but white tea has more catechins which are known to fight cancer, boost the immune system and metabolism, lower cholesterol and ward off fat.

Although green tea has more caffeine, moderate amounts of caffeine are beneficial to the body. Unlike coffee, green tea has an amino acid called theanine (also found in mushrooms) which has a calming effect that counteracts any negative effects produced by caffeine. http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2006/1/report_theanine/Page-01:

Tea causes changes in body chemistry that rejuvenate, relax, enhance the ability to think, and change mood.

Among the latest discoveries about tea is that it can prevent depression and lower blood pressure. Both green and black teas have beneficial health effects, the main difference being that black tea is oxidized. That would seem to destroy tea’s bioactivity, but it does not. Black tea continues to prove itself in scientific studies. Researchers with the US Department of Agriculture, for example, recently reported that five cups of black tea a day can lower potentially harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol in people with mildly elevated cholesterol.

You can absolutely mix teas together. We enjoy drinking white & green tea with a spoonful of honey, twist of lemon, lime or orange zest is optional.
It is not, however, recommended to add [processed] sugar to tea since that will dilute antioxidants.

Quoted from elsewhere...

"Green tea contains around 20g of caffeine, compared to white that has around 15g. In comparison, black tea contains around 45mg."

So 3 cups of white tea would be in comparison of 1 cup of black tea when talking about caffeine. So 5 cups of white tea wouldn't even equal to 2 cups of black tea, dumbass.

I never add anything to my white tea. No sugar or sweeteners, no milk. It taste great just how it is. But probably with other brands you may need that little extra. I get a brand called planet organic.

I see you didn't actually read what I wrote.

Definitely that is the best way to drink tea, any kind of tea. We just both got used to drinking fruit-flavored teas, especially adding iced tea to pomegranate, acai berry or passion fruit juice.
Naturally, juice is sweet enough on its own.
