Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and it’s no surprise people have been drinking tea for centuries for pleasure, routine, taste, and many health benefits. Also, tea has a high concentration of antioxidants, which may contribute to the prevention of cancer, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases.



Here are some of the characteristics and healing properties of the prominent tea families:


Black Tea This tea is more oxidized than other teas, which gives it a darker color and a more robust flavor profile. Health Benefits of Black Tea: -aids the digestive system -anti-inflammatory effects on the body -protects the skin -burns calories


Green Tea This tea has not been processed as much as other forms, and so it has a gentler color and flavor profile.


Health Benefits of Green Tea: -protects against cancer -maintains heart health -increases fat burning


Oolong Tea The process makes this tea by withering the leaves and drying them in the sun. This creates a light-colored tea with a mild flavor profile. Health Benefits of Oolong Tea: -manages diabetes -protects your teeth


White Tea This tea is not oxidized or rolled, creating a mild flavor profile. Health Benefits of White Tea: -supports mental health -fights bacteria


Herbal Tea This tea comprises the dried properties of petals, leaves, seeds, roots, stems, and petals of many plants and flowers.


Health Benefits of Herbal Tea: -aids in digestion -relieves anxiety and stress -it helps with sleep -provides anti-inflammatory properties



With all the benefits of drinking tea, choosing a tea for your specific needs is a great way to discover what is out there. With over 1500 varieties, finding one that fits your ideal flavor profile can be a little overwhelming.


Here are a few common symptoms that many of us experience and a tea blend that can help:


Stress Blend -chamomile -lavender -passionflower


Fatigue Blend -mint -nettles -ginseng -licorice root


Exhaustion Blend -chamomile -nettles -licorice root -lavender -ashwagandha Root -clove
