Tea Health by Tea Type

Even though teas come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, the tea preparation, time of tea harvest, and other factors make a big difference in the level of antioxidants, caffeine and other natural elements that can help cure and prevent different ailments and improve overall health.  Scientists study not only each tea category, such as green tea, black tea and white tea, but also the different tea types within those categories.  In this section we show the main health benefits of each tea category, but you can check our health benefits tab located on each tea type to see the specific health benefits of that tea type.
