As white tea is widely recognized by everyone, white tea that is naturally withered without frying or kneading has gradually been recognized by everyone for its medicinal effects, especially old white tea is loved by most people. What are the functions of flavonoids, the important substances in the old white tea extract?

Tea polyphenols are one of the main sources of tea health benefits, also known as "tea tannins". It is not a single substance, but a general term for various mixtures. Its main components include catechins, flavonoids, flavonols, and anthocyanins. It also plays an important role in the color, aroma, and taste of white tea.

During the storage process of white tea, after the conversion of polyphenols, the formation of flavonoids is promoted; therefore, the tea flavonoids in the old white tea extract will be higher, and the longer the storage time, the higher the old white tea, The content of tea flavonoids will also be higher, and the health care effect on the human body will be more obvious.

Flavonoids have a strong antioxidant effect; the free radical content in white tea is relatively low, when the human body ingests too many free radicals, it will become one of the main factors in accelerating aging and pathological changes. The antioxidant content of white tea extract is 3 times higher than that of green tea, which can neutralize free radicals more effectively.
