Tea and Health - Stash Tea Company

Stash Tea has a good page of scientific research related to teas. Definitely worth a look! (and a drink!)

Tea and Health - Stash Tea Company:
"There has been much research lately that explores the potential health benefits of drinking tea daily. Researchers are finding that all teas -- white, green, oolong and black teas from the Camellia sinensis plant -- may aid in achieving a long and healthy life.

Tea contains flavonoids, which are compounds that have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants work to neutralize free radicals, which can damage the body and contribute to chronic diseases. White and green teas (the least processed) contain the most antioxidant properties, followed by Oolong and then Black teas."
