Why is tea good for your health?

A question we will never tire of answering, since tea is good for your health because of its various beneficial compounds.
Tea contains an amino acid, L-theanine (mainly in green tea but also in smaller quantities in black and white tea).
This amino acid helps reduce stress and promotes a calm and relaxed mental state, thus allowing you to relax.

Tea also contains a very high level of antioxidants, called polyphenols:
  • Catechin: an antioxidant found in green tea
  • Flavonoids: present in large quantities in green, black or white tea
  • Theaflavin: present only in black tea
Antioxidants help reduce the risk of developing several diseases and thus protect our body against free radicals, thereby preventing certain illnesses and various ailments:
- Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
- Prevention of certain cancers
- Cholesterol reduction
- Accelerated metabolism, aiding in weight loss
- Diabetes prevention
- Supporting gastrointestinal health
- Oral health protection
- Supporting neurological capacities
- Promotes sleep
- Reduces stress and combats anxiety
