Tea is simply loaded with antioxidants - in fact two cups of tea contain the antioxidant levels of seven glasses of orange juice, or four apples! While tea does contain caffeine (around 25 to 34mg per serving, far less than coffee) this caffeine is bundled with several compounds that work to prevent an energy "‹œspike' and promote a gentler, extended "‹œlift' to help sustain energy and focus throughout the day. Black tea has been linked to: Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) through improved cholesterol levels and reduced cell damage Providing some protective benefits against cancer through antioxidants Immune system strength - tea contains theanine, a unique amino acid that supports the immune system, helping our bodies defend against infections, bacteria, and viruses. In one clinical trial, participants who consumed five cups of black tea daily for two to four weeks experienced a 2x - 4x increase in interferon in their immune cells. Bone strength and oral health. Tea is a natural source of fluoride which helps protect tooth enamel, and studies have shown that habitual tea drinkers had healthy bone mineral density in later life.
