My cup of Tea

Dear friends,

                   I chanced upon to see a blog on green tea from a chinese fropperite. I deem it fit to tell you my drinking(!) habit here(Tea only!). I use to have a cup of tea in the morning after breakfast. As I have taken the organic route to fill my belly, the drinking goes with it.The tea I drink is also organic without milk,with organic country sugar and lemon. Tea whether black, green or oolong all come from the same Camellia sinensis which is the Botanical name for tea.

                 The difference between green and other teas- black and oolong is in the processing of tea leaves -while the blakc tea and the oolong tea are fermented , oxidised the green tea is not fermented under going minimal oxidation.

                 Though it appears the green tea has an edge over other teas by the anti--oxidant epigallocatechin gallate(EGCg) in it, black tea which is used in India is no less beneficial than green tea as the flavenoid oxidants in it more than make up for the EGCg converted into a less effective compund during fermentation.

                When we eat, metabolic activity goes on iside our body releasing free radicals or reactive oxgen species(ROS). These free radicals and ROS if go unchecked will damage the DNA and bring about the resultant illnesses and premature ageing. The anti-oxidants act as scavengers neutralising the free radicals and ROS.

               Take Organic tea without milk, with organic country sugar, with lemon for best results.

            But mind you, Tea, be it green , black tea or oolong tea has caffeine as well. Two , three cups,four cups a day will do. More intake may bring in nausea and the complications. Tea research is still on.

           Welcome to Join me over a cup of tea.

          You have come to know my drinking(!) habits now.

         Thanks for reading. Your own drinking(!) comments are welcome.

         Bharath selvan.

Hi Bharat!
Yes, tea by any name, colour or style is one of the best source of Anti Oxidants, which is best to combat the terrorist called Free Radicals. For most people is the Milk and Sugar added is cause for concern than caffeine. So Black Tea with or without lemon and nothing else is best. '200 ml of black tea can keep 10 doctors away'
Thanx.
