camellia sinensis
Plant Family: TheaceaePhysical:
Diuretic effect: the combination of caffeine and other substances in this tea get rid of toxics and decrease excessive amounts of salt. The latter is often related to hypertension. When consumed in moderation, it could also help against heart diseases.

Anti-inflammatory effect: polyphenols in black tea can reduce inflammation and infection. The tips of a black tea like Yunnan Gold generally contain more polyphenols. This is why the leaves are also used in some regions in China to coat wounds. It’s often consumed in situations of food poisoning as well.

Detoxification effect: At the same time, the polyphenols in this tea can also help to get rid of heavy metals and alkaloids found in modern foods.

Eliminating fatigue: The caffeine in black tea has a longer-term effect (though less intense) and is therefore more effective in reducing tiredness and improving focus.

Improving digestion: It also increases blood flow, which improves the digestion of food. It can also help to soothe an upset stomach.

Warding off colds and other illnesses: Black tea contains catechins, which have been shown to help boost the immune system and ward off colds and other similar illnesses.

Reducing stress: Black tea also contains l-theanine, a beneficial compound that helps to reduce stress and anxiety and promote relaxation. Caffeine and l-theanine work together to contribute to alertness and focus without causing the jitters. L-theanine contributes to the soothing, meditative properties inherent in a good cup of tea, and is a safe and effective way to help encourage calm and wellbeing.

High in antioxidants: All tea made from the camellia sinensis plant is high in antioxidants, which can help to reduce free radicals within the body and ward off degenerative disease.
