4 of the Best Benefits of Black and Green Tea

When I think about black tea vs. green tea, or orange pekoe tea, I discovered that I do like black tea sometimes called breakfast tea.

black tea versus green tea

There are numerous health benefits to drinking black tea. On one occasion when I was at breakfast, the restaurant did not have any orange pekoe tea, so I tried the black tea and discovered I could not tell a great difference between the two.

1. Black and Green tea statistics

I have often heard that black and green tea was good for you, but I never really knew why. Did you know that Green and black teas have 10 times the amount of antioxidants that fruits and vegetables have? That is according to WebMd.com. I have family members that just love green tea.

So possibly instead of having that morning cup of coffee, you might want to have a morning cup of tea. Also, both green and black tea come from the same plant called Camellia semisis.

2. Black tea (Did you know?)

Black tea contributes to over 90% of the tea sold in the West, according to en.wikipedia.org. Among some of the health benefits of black tea are cancer prevention, skin and hair health, digestive tract function, brain and nervous system, and the immune system. I remember someone commenting to me about how clear my skin was. Although, I did not think about it at the time, that is something I may have taken for granted. I do drink tea as opposed to drinking coffee. That is just my preference.

3. Antioxidants

Green teas have basically some of the same health benefits as black tea. It has been shown that the antioxidant in green tea is 100 times more effective than Vitamin C and 25 times better than Vitamin E. According to static1.squarspace.com

4. Polyphenols

Green tea contains anti-oxidants called polyphenols which help fight against aging and promote longevity. Do you have trouble with arthritis? Green tea reduces the risk of rheumatoid arthritis by protecting the cartilage and clocking enzymes that that destroy cartilage. In addition, are you worried about Alzheimer’s? Green tea will help boost your memory. It slows the process of reduced acetylcholine in the brain, which leads to Alzheimer’s. So the next time that you drink tea, think about all the benefits.

I have found that green tea makes me really gassy. I just love black tea and I have no problems drinking it. . . . I have observed that some of the waitresses at various restaurants are not aware of what black tea is or if some of their various brands of tea are 100% natural. What is your favorite tea?
