would you like a cup of tea?

The amazing health benefits of tea!

Latest findings;

*One cup of black or green tea has more antioxidant power than a serving of broccoli, carrots or spinach.

*Tea decaffeinated using a natural CO-2 process retains 90% of its cancer-fighting properties.

*White tea appears to have more potent anticancer qualities than green tea.

*According to a new study, green tea appears to accelerate calorie burning - including fat calories.

*Drinking black tea may lower the risk of heart disease because it prevents blood from clumping and forming clots.

*Tea can lower 'bad' cholesterol levels

*Tea is one of the single best cancer fighters you can put in your body,

*Tea flavonoids may be bone builders.

*The wonder cup just got even more wonderful. Green tea, rich in antioxidant treasures that protect against heart disease and cancer, now shows promise as an allergy fighter.


I myself love both tea and coffee, just depends on the mood. What about you?
Are you a coffee drinker or tea drinker?




Happy Sunday!

  3. I'm really starting to jump onto the tea bandwagon! But I didn't know about the black tea being as healthful as green. Good news!

  7. I love tea --especially green tea and Korean barley tea (does this count as white tea?). I don't drink tea as much, though, which is ironic considering that I live in Hong Kong! The occasional bubble tea doesn't count.

    I wasn't a green tea person until I discovered Jasmine tea. that I like. though when I'm seeking a caffeine boost I'm a coffee girl... looks like I should try to drink just a bit more tea though!

  10. I am a tea drinker and enjoy at least 3 cups a day. I like black teas and green teas with black tea being the favorite. I enjoy an occasional cup of coffee but the caffeine makes me jittery if I have too much. Thanks for all the tea info.
