Health Benefits

Tea leaves are naturally rich in polyphenols—compounds that may help protect cells and reduce inflammation. Many blends also contain micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, phosphorous and copper. These may contribute to immune support and overall wellness, even in small amounts. Herbal and green teas in particular are known for their antioxidant density.

2–3 cups of tea daily may be optimal. Research suggests this level is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and premature mortality. Unlike coffee, tea offers sustained energy with less caffeine, making it suitable for daily use.

While both contain antioxidants, tea provides a calmer release of energy and includes L-theanine, which may reduce anxiety. For those sensitive to caffeine or looking for a mindful ritual, tea offers a softer, more sustaining alternative.
