Antioxidants in Tea

Here are a few tidbits of information about green and black tea:

  • Try to always drink tea soon after it’s brewed to obtain the highest antioxidants!
  • Brewed green or black tea has more antioxidants than any whole fruit or vegetable (one study says 10 times the amount).
  • Bottled iced tea still has a good bit of antioxidants and is much better for you than a soda.
  • Green and black teas are rich in polyphenols and flavonoids.

Tea has been gaining in popularity over the years, so much that places like Starbucks added teas to their menu.
