Ideal for any time of the day.
What are the benefits?
The benefits associated with most teas come from polyphenols — antioxidants that offer protection from several chronic diseases. But black tea contains one group of polyphenols, called theaflavins, that no other type of tea has. Theaflavins develop during oxidation and account for 3% to 6% of the polyphenols in black tea. That’s why black tea offers some of the same benefits as other types of tea but also provides unique advantages.
