About The Benefits Of Tea
There have been many studies done proving out many theories on the health benefits of tea, whether it be black, green, white, or oolong.
About Tea
All tea comes from the plant camellia sinensis (if it's not camellia sinensis, you're most likely drinking what's called a tisane). Tea is fermented and oxidized in various stages: White tea has the least amount of processing, thereby retaining most of its natural compounds. Green tea is completely unoxidized, and black tea is fully oxidized. Oolong is somewhere between green and black tea, and is sometimes referred to as blue tea. Red tea is actually a plant called Rooibos (Roy-Boss), and is actually a tisane. Bad Breath
Bad breath may not seem like a health problem, but it is. Most bad breath is caused by bacteria which give off the foul "morning breath" odor. Those bacteria thrive on plaque, and black tea can help to prevent the formation of plaque. Buy Tea Online
