Not bad for a shrub soaked in a little hot water

Black tea, overshadowed by its brother green tea, and even its sister white tea, finally makes it into the media to also contain health benefits. It believe it gets overlooked because of the high caffeine content, but it's still no where near the amount in a cup of coffee.


Recent studies in leading medical journals declare black tea a potential heart tonic, cancer blocker, fat buster, immune stimulant, arthritis soother, virus fighter and cholesterol detoxifier. Not bad for a lowly shrub soaked in a little hot water.

About time! :)
