Did you know a cup of tea can aid in boosting your immunity? But which tea? The traditional black one or the green tea? To quell the confusion Dr. Amitava Sarkar, President - Health Foods, SastaSundar.com points out, “The fermentation process is what draws a line of difference between green and black tea. Otherwise, both are known for their umpteen health benefits.”
He further adds, “Green tea is a storehouse of flavonoids, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Black tea is more oxidized than green tea with a sweet aroma. It has the highest caffeine content, among all variants of tea. Theaflavins and Thearubigens are compounds present in it which give this tea its characteristic colour and flavour besides representing potential molecules with a therapeutic connection.”
