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.
