Tea is experiencing a resurgence in popularity because of its antioxidant properties.
Researchers have found that the so called tea tannins are unique in their diversity and quantity, and that they should in fact have their own classification. These are generally known as antioxidants, and when consumed, scour the body for free radicals, and by passing over an electron, neutralize them. They are now referred to as polyphenols and are made up of the tea catechins and their gallates, classed as Flavonoids.
It is accepted that free radicals (cells with only one electron, instead of two) if unchecked, contribute to the ageing process as well as possibly leading to many serious illnesses. The interaction of oxygen with cells in the bloodstream is the primary cause of free radical formation, and these create havoc in the body by trying to steal an electron from a healthy cell. It is ironic, that something so necessary for life, oxygen, can be a contributor to the process of ageing. This natural process of free radical formation is exacerbated by UV rays, chemicals, pollution, and smoking and it is therefore essential to minimize the damage caused by these. A cup of tea is rich in antioxidants, inexpensive, easy to prepare, is widely available but first and foremost, it is enjoyed by the tea drinker. The fact that it could be good for you should be looked upon as a bonus.
Tea producers are not allowed to make references to health claims on their products at this stage but with the positive findings by researchers gathering momentum, it is not unrealistic that such a labelling will be permitted within a few years.
Researchers in the US, Japan and the UK have all published papers on the beneficial properties of tea, from tumour inhibition to anti-viral protection.

4. Let the tea steep in the hot water for three to five minutes (depending on how strong you like your cup of tea).
5. If you enjoy milk, and or sugar with your teas, you can add it at this time. Stir well after adding milk and sugar. If you havent tried tea with lemon - you ought to. Take a slice of lemon and simply drop it over your brew. Keep in mind that you dont want to mix lemon with milk and sugar.
