Black Tea vs.Green Tea

Divert your debating skills to other controversies, because experts have declared the great debate between Black and Green Teas “no contest.” Nolo contendere. Not that one tea-color has emerged a decisive victor over the other; instead, research shows both Black and Green Tea have tremendous health benefits.

One study suggested Black and Green Teas may contain up to ten times the anti-oxidants in vegetables and fruits.

Just as encouraging, a recent study clearly demonstrated Black and Green Teas mitigated cell damage from tobacco and other toxic chemicals. In the laboratory, rats that took tea suffered far less cancer.

A British bio-chemist, saying he owes his doctorate to his passion for black tea, encourages you to drink Black and Green Teas according to your preferences, and he very strongly recommends you drink a lot of tea for its “astounding” anti-oxidant power—his word.

Black Tea: Come for the Caffeine. Stay for the Anti-Oxidants

Black Tea rivals coffee and Coca-Cola for first place among the world’s most popular beverages. Just as American industry abruptly stops in the absence of Starbucks, similarly British and Canadian commerce come to a halt without Black Tea. The British love their Black Tea so much they built the day’s fourth meal around it; and, of course, Black Tea inspired the American Revolution. If the Americans had not demanded their Black Tea untaxed, the fifty states would remain part of the Empire.
