In the Orient, tea drinking has been
linked to good health for nearly 5000 years.
Tea contains compounds that may prevent certain cancers, reduce blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol levels, regulate intestinal function and may help ward off heart disease.
Drinking tea may reduce tooth decay & gum disease. Research conducted by Hirota Fuyiki at the National Cancer Center, Tokyo, suggests drinking larger amounts of tea daily, as consumed by the average Japanese, may be protective. Many studies reveal that tea polyphenols may be responsible. Polyphenols are natural plant chemicals found in black, green and oolong teas.
