Tea Health Benefits

The function of tea, the health benefits of tea and the natural, bioactive compounds in tea, as essential elements in a healthy lifestyle is best explained by the first line in Kakuzo Okakura’s 1906 philosophical treatise on tea, ‘The Book of Tea’. Okakura sums up the historical and ancient belief in tea as more than just a pleasing beverage by writing, “Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage.”

Scientific research now confirms what Asians believed for centuries – that green and black tea contain powerful natural antioxidants which can protect regular tea drinkers from many degenerative diseases.
Studies have shown that the antioxidant activity of flavonoids in green and black tea reduces the risk of many degenerative diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure stroke, cancer and diabetes, and can help maintain good oral health.

Antioxidant activity of Flavonoids in your cuppa can help you fight viral diseases and help prevent several chronic diseases. While plant-based food ranging from fruit and vegetables contain antioxidants, tea in comparison has been found to contain 10 times more units of antioxidants!

Single Origin Tea, handpicked and packed where it’s grown, seals in freshness and protects the natural goodness of antioxidants and flavonoids in your cuppa. Experts recommend drinking 3 – 4 cups of fresh tea daily to obtain the health benefits of tea.
