January is National Hot Tea Month and is also considered the height of the cold and flu season.
Ginger tea is said to help with the relief of congestion as well as Peppermint tea for sore throats, Raspberry Leaves for nausea, Chamomile to calm anxiety, and many others are reported to help with other health issues.
Theanine is an amino acid derivative commonly found in tea. On 21 April 2003 the Brigham and Women's Hospital released details of a research project which indicated that theanine may help the body's immune system response when fighting infection. The study included a four week trial that included 11 coffee drinkers and 10 tea drinkers. Each consumed 600ml of coffee or black tea during the four week trial. Analysis found that the production of antibacterial proteins was up to five times higher in the tea drinkers than the coffee drinkers.This was an indicator of a stronger immune response.
Did you know one cup of white tea contains the same amount of antioxidants as 10 cups of apple juice.
Next time you reach for a cup of tea try White Mischief from Teaporia. This is a white tea that will keep you coming back for more! Pomegranate and guava flavors jump out in every sip.
It takes only 3 minutes of brewing time for the antioxidants in tea to be released in your cup so have a cup today!
