The health benefits of tea have been studied for as long as anyone can remember.

The rich history of tea is found in the Far East, in China and India, as far back as 2700 BC. Those countries are the largest consumers and producers of tea in the world. Even back in the ancient times, the invigorating and medicinal effects of tea were felt and promoted. Nowadays, studies have shown that drinking tea daily can ward off disease processes ranging from cardiovascular disease to cancer to depression.

Tea has been shown to have healing powers. There are many varieties of tea, but one thing that they all have in common is the abundance of antioxidants and other powerful ingredients are immensely beneficial for health.

A study conducted in Italy showed that consumption of three or more cups of tea daily can reduce the chance of stroke by 21%. More studies have shown protection against different types of cancer, lowering of cholesterol, promotion of weight loss, improvement of bone strength, lifting of the mood, and slowing down the ageing process.
