Black tea leaves come from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant. These tea leaves contain Polyphenols. Polyphenols are complex compounds that are powerful antioxidants which repair cells, prevent cell damage, and neutralize the free radicals in the body that may contribute to serious medical problems. Fondly known as cell protectors, the antioxidants present in black tea are known to reduce the chances of common ailments such as:

• Cancer
• Alzheimer`s disease
• Neuro-degenerative diseases
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Premature aging
• Atherosclerosis

Scientists also believe that black tea reduces tissue inflammation, deactivate viruses, minimize artery clogging, and lower the risk of stroke and heart attack. Tea is also thought to have a calming effect on the body, which is the main reason why billions of people make it a relaxing, daily ritual.
