1. White Tea
White tea extracts are made from processing the Camellia sinensis plant. This plant is mainly harvested in China or India and has a delicate flavor. It’s also the tea with the least amount of processing.
According to research, due to its high quantity of antioxidants, it may be the most efficient tea in combating many forms of cancer. White tea includes a significant amount of tannins, fluoride, and catechins compounds, all of which can make your teeth stronger, combat plaque, and make them more immune to the effects of acids and sugar.
This kind also has the lowest caffeine content, making it a good choice for tea users who are looking forward to restricting their intake of caffeine.
2. Herbal Teas
Herbal teas, also popularly known as tisanes. Their components are quite similar to that of white teas, but instead of tea leaves, they consist of a unique blend of spices, certain herbs, fresh fruits, and some other specific types of plants. Herbal teas are known for their relaxing qualities because they don’t have a high concentration of caffeine.
Herbal teas come in a variety of flavors, each with its own set of advantages. The following are some of the most renowned herbal tea products:-
Chamomile tea — Aids in reducing menstruation discomfort and muscle spasms, as well as improving sleep and relaxation and lowering stress levels.
Rooibos — helps in maintaining the blood pressure and oxygen circulation, improves the concentration of good cholesterol and reduces the levels of bad cholesterol, keeps healthy dark hair and vibrant skin, and relieves any type of allergies.
Peppermint – The Peppermint herbal tea generally contains menthol, which can help with nausea, reduce constipation, aids in maintaining a proper bowel movement, and cure certain motion sicknesses. Moreover, it also aids in lowering severe headaches or migraines.
Ginger — Aids in the prevention of morning sickness, the treatment of persistent dyspepsia, and the relief of osteoarthritis-related joint pain.
Hibiscus — Maintains the level of blood pressure and lipid levels, aids in the proper functioning of the liver, can curb sugar cravings, and prevent the formation of kidney stones.
3. Green Tea
The green tea leaves mainly come from China. There the tea leaves are Furst roasted or pan-fried. However, certain green teas which come from Japan are more typically steamed.
They are primarily stored in a glass jar. Green tea leaves are a rich concentration of flavonoids, which can improve the functioning of your cardiovascular system by maintaining the levels of cholesterol in your body. It also helps in improving the process of blood clotting. This sort of tea has been shown in studies to aid in lowering the levels of triglycerides, overall cholesterol, and blood pressure.
Green tea has been linked to malignancies of the breast, liver, colon, and prostate, and according to other studies. This tea kind has also been proved to be anti-inflammatory, which aids in maintaining clear, bright skin.
Matcha, a specific type of green tea, has become increasingly popular in the last few years. Matcha is a premium, top-quality green tea powder prepared from the whole leaves of shade-grown tea bushes.
Matcha has a significantly higher concentration of antioxidants than regular green tea because it is the only type of tea consumed by the leaves. Some people believe that the benefits of a single cup of matcha are the same as the benefits of drinking ten cups of regular green tea.
4. Black Tea
Apart from providing green tea, the tea leaves of some of the Camellia sinensis plants are also used to manufacture black tea. On the other hand, black tea is made by drying and fermenting the leaves, giving it a darker color and a richer flavor.
Because black tea contains caffeine, unlike many other varieties, it’s crucial to keep track of how much you drink. When you drink a cup of black tea, you get flavonoids, which fight inflammation and maintain a healthy immune system.
However, you don’t have to drink black tea to reap the benefits of its antioxidants. To ease pain and reduce swelling. Moreover, the black tea leaves can be heated, cooled, and then pressed on minor wounds, bruises, and scrapes, acting as an effective first aid. Inflammation-induced by black tea can also be relieved by a soak in black tea.
5. Oolong Tea
Various products of green, as well as black teas, are made from the same species of plant. The difference lies in the way the tea is processed: green tea is left to oxidize only a little, but black tea is left for a more extended period to oxidize until it turns black. Because oolong tea is halfway between the two, it is slightly oxidized. The color and distinctive flavor of oolong tea are due to its partial oxidation.
L-theanine, an amino acid found in oolong tea, helps to lower anxiety while also increasing alertness and focus. L-theanine has been discovered to aid in the prevention of cognitive illnesses such as Alzheimer’s.
Polyphenols in oolong tea have been associated with considerably lowering inflammation, limiting the growth of cancer cells, and reducing the issues of type 2 diabetics.
Final Thoughts
Many health-conscious individuals have made herbal teas a daily part of their lives because of their numerous benefits. And apart from having these benefits, it does not accompany any side effects, unlike any allopathic medicine. This makes the consumption of green teas a much safer choice.
