Black tea is rich in antioxidants and may provide health benefits, including improved heart and gut health and a reduced risk for certain conditions. Black tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. It contains antioxidants and compounds that may offer a range of health benefits.
Green tea is produced from fresh tea leaves that have not undergone oxidation, a chemical reaction that begins when the leaves are exposed to the air and which is responsible for the color and taste of different types of tea. Black tea is created when leaves are fully crushed to enhance oxidation, and oolong is created when leaves are wilted in the sun and slightly bruised to create partial oxidation
Here are some of the potential benefits of black tea, supported by research:
-
Promotes heart health: Black tea contains flavonoids, which may help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol, blood pressure, and the risk of stroke.
-
Improves focus: The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in black tea can improve alertness and focus.
-
May lower blood sugar levels: Drinking black tea without added sweeteners may help decrease blood glucose levels and improve the body's ability to manage sugar.
-
May decrease the risk of some cancers: Some studies suggest that the polyphenols in black tea may play a role in fighting certain types of cancer.
-
May improve gut health: Black tea polyphenols may promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut.
