Tea is healthier to drink than water, due to the flavonoids in tea:
These polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage. ...Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening.
This from a new UK study. Furthermore, even though tea is caffeinated, its net effect still produces hydration. So it replaces fluids and has antioxidants.
I think I'll go have another cup!
Say, Lynne, are you aware of these folks? Excellent source of high quality tea at a reasonable price. And absolutely charming people.
Better than Todd & Holland, anyway.
Dave,
Thanks for the tip! I haven't tried them before, but their selection of Assam (my favorite!) looks great. I'll give them a try.
The Nepalese tea they carry occasionally is really good (and very affordable). And the Nilgiri is fantastic!
