Wellness FAQs

Is black tea or green tea better for your health?

Many tea drinkers wonder if they should swap their traditional black tea for green tea. The good news is that both types come from the same plant and offer similar health benefits. While the processing methods differ, black tea retains its protective flavonoid structures, meaning you get comparable antioxidant goodness whether you choose black or green tea.

Does adding milk to my tea reduce its health benefits?

Aussies love a splash of milk in their morning cuppa, and thankfully, adding milk does not reduce the health benefits of your tea. While tea polyphenols and milk proteins bind together in your cup, your body still absorbs similar amounts of these beneficial polyphenols after digestion, just as it would with a plain black tea.

How many cups of tea should I drink a day for the best health benefits?

While drinking even a single cup will provide some benefits, regular consumption helps maintain these beneficial components in your body. Health authorities, such as the Health Council of the Netherlands, suggest drinking three cups daily. Overall, aiming for about four cups a day is recommended to get the most out of your brew.

Is tea good for gut health and digestion?

Absolutely. Tea acts as a prebiotic, which means it helps increase the number of beneficial microorganisms in your digestive tract, such as Lactobacillus. At the same time, it helps decrease harmful microorganisms, like Helicobacter pylori, which is known to cause gastritis.

Does brewing tea for a longer time increase its caffeine content?

Not significantly. If you are wondering whether steeping your tea longer will give you a bigger energy boost, the answer is no. Approximately 80% of the caffeine in tea is extracted within just the first minute of brewing. Allowing the tea to steep for a longer period will only increase the extraction to about 90%. Therefore, an extended brewing time does not result in a significant increase in the final caffeine content of your cup
