The Facts
about Tea
- Green tea has more health benefits
according to studies so far but tastes somewhat bitter,
while Black and pu'er
teas are more tasty to most people.
- Always drink light tea is suggested. Drinking
too strong tea, especially when you are hungry,
may cause nausea or dizziness temporarily.
- If you don't like the taste of green tea but like its benefits,
consider the combination of 2 kinds of teas,
e.g. Green-Black tea, green-pu'er
tea etc.
- Quality green and oolong loose tea can be
re-infused up to 3 times while quality black
and pu'er loose tea can be re-infused up to 5
times.
- How many cups of tea do you need to drink
daily for the benefits? For a precise answer,
there is not enough research information yet. For most people,
this is not a concern because almost everyone can add several
cups of tea a day without negative effects. Drinking 4-6 cups
of green or black tea a day can potentially reduce the risk of
cancer and heart diseases. (source: American Dietary Association's
position on tea)
- Taste of different kinds of teas is from the
Polyphenols.
- Decaffeinated tea has less Polyphenols
but has almost as high Flavonoids as regular
tea. (source: www.teahealth.co.uk/the/facts/4.htm) That means
you may get most of the main benefits from decaffeinated black
but Not green tea since green tea contains Polyphenols
while black tea mainly contains Flavonoids.
