black teas
Green teas have gained their popularity due to their health benefits. However, recent studies show that black teas popularly known for its distinct flavor also provide benefits originally attributed solely to green tea. Research indicates that two of the compounds found in black tea, namely, theaflavins and thearubigens, do not just contribute to the color and taste of the tea itself, but rather has the same effect drinkers get from drinking green tea.
Additionally, a 2001 study made by Boston University indicates that long term consumption of black tea decreases the dysfunction of blood vessels in coronary artery disease. However, since the said tea research is still in its early stage, trying to switch from being a green tea drinker does not make any difference at all. After all, regardless of whether it’s a black or a green, the long-term benefit has proven to be valuable.
