Drinking Black Tea: Is It Good Or Bad For You?

Black tea, or Ceylon tea, named as such, because of where it is grown, (although tea is produced in the highlands of many countries, including Malawi, Sri Lanka and all over Asia) contains caffeine and tannins, which are not entirely beneficial to the body, if the tea is consumed in large quantities. Caffeine is also present in coffee, soft drinks, and flu remedies, It is considered a stimulant, and therefore can raise blood pressure, and cause withdrawal headaches, when it is no longer drunk.

The tannins that exist in black tea, also exist in wine, and other drinks that come from berries. However the biflavanoids are said to be beneficial, So it depends how much you drink.

Latest research has found that the anti-oxidants in tea are good for you. BUT if you add milk to the tea, the milk cancels out the anti-oxidants.  So drinking tea "black" ie without milk is good for you.  If you are concerned about caffeine, then buy de-caffeinated tea, or tea low in caffeine, such as green tea.
