Black Tea

What is black tea?

Legend has it that in the 17th century, a shipment of tea from China arrived in London after a long journey and oxidised in the crates. Tea belongs to the Camelia Sinensis family and China is its birthplace. The tea would have turned from green to black. The English greatly appreciated the aromas and flavours and therefore ordered it again.

What are the benefits of black tea?

Like green tea, since the 20th century, scientific research has led to the understanding of many anti-inflammatory benefits perceived by tea drinkers for over 3,000 years.

Firstly, caffeine, the main one of the three xanthines found in tea leaves, is a powerful stimulant for the nervous system. It allows many people to stay awake and focused without getting excited.

Theophylline has an essential action on the dilation of the veins by improving the flow and reducing cancer cells. This plant is naturally very rich in vitamin B and vitamin C , which helps to reduce cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.
