Information on Black Tea
Black tea is a kind of fermented tea, originating from green tea after it is mixed, kneaded, fermented, dried and otherwise processed. The water of green tea is freshly green while that of black tea is orange red.Tea without sugar is called as black tea. In India and Middle-east black tea is also referred to as ‘sulemani chai’. Both black and green tea are beneficial for the heart, according to latest researches in this field. They can both act as good antioxidants, freeing the body from harmful toxins.
Tea can be consumed in a variety of ways. I like my black tea with milk and sugar. And then there is green tea, white tea and oolong tea which I usually take without any additives. How I consume my tea usually depends on the type of tea.
Black tea is a variety of tea that is more oxidized than the green, oolong and white tea varieties. Black Tea contains many antioxidants. These antioxidants help the body in many ways. In recent studies, black tea has been found to cut down on artery clogging which in turn can help with heart disease and high blood pressure.
One of the key points to keep in mind about black tea is its distinctive flavor. Because of the manner in which it has been processed, it can easily be differentiated from other forms of tea. Once you’ve sampled black tea, chances are you will never be nostalgic for other types of tea.
Black tea has approximately half the amount of caffeine than a regular cup of coffee, and green tea contains half the amount of caffeine than black.
Antioxidants: Tea is packed with antioxidants which prevents free radical damage that leads to numerous diseases. The antioxidant potential in tea has been found to be significantly higher than that of grape juice and red wine which would explain the studies around the health benefits of drinking tea.
Tea Bags (commercial type like Liptons) are the least beneficial Loose Tea – much better for us than commercial tea bags Organic Loose Tea is far better to drink than commercial tea bags or non-organic loose black tea. There are no chemicals or additives.
Although green and black teas came from the same plant – Camellia Sinensis, what makes them different from each other in terms of taste and health benefits is the processing method.
Black teas contain antioxidants which prevent the damage caused by free radicals which can lead to numerous diseases.
Drinking black teas can help to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, as it helps to expand the arteries, which increases blood flow to the heart.
On one last note, to maximize the benefits of this type of tea it is best to drink it straight. Early research conducted both on humans and in rats shows that adding milk to black tea severely reduces the health benefits. Even beyond all these studies, black tea still has weight loss benefits, just like green tea.
Regular drinkers of black leaf tea are more able to relieve their stress faster than the non drinkers. It can also be blended with a number of herbs which enhances its benefits. For example cloves can be added for relieving flu and colds. Ginger plays an effective role in healing respiratory system. Nutmeg can be added to get relief from throat problems pepper can be added to black tea to help promote digestive system and so on.
