Tea and Health

It was back during the HAN Dynasty (206BC-220AD) that the Chinese first discovered the health benefits of tea.

Today, when you think about all the good stuff a simple cuppa can give you, it's no wonder we drink it by the bucket load.

Tea can generate benefits straight away as you enjoy your cuppa, as well as over the longer term. Ever wondered why a great cuppa starts with a contented sigh? Tea leaves are a natural source of Theanine, which has been shown to help us feel relaxed and alert.

Drinking tea also gives you the goodness of flavonoid antioxidants that can help protect your body against the pesky free radicals that build up as a result of everyday living. They also say drinking tea can be good for the ticker.
