Tea is healthier to drink than water, due to the flavonoids in tea:
These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage. …
Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening.
This from a new UK study. Furthermore, even though tea is caffeinated, its net effect still produces hydration. So it replaces fluids and has antioxidants.
I think I’ll go have another cup!
Say, Lynne, are you aware of these folks? Excellent source of high quality tea at a reasonable price. And absolutely charming people.
Better than Todd & Holland, anyway.
Dave,
Thanks for the tip! I haven’t tried them before, but their selection of Assam (my favorite!) looks great. I’ll give them a try.
The Nepalese tea they carry occasionally is really good (and very affordable). And the Nilgiri is fantastic!
