Our beverage brings us so many benefits. Tea holds a variety of nutrients including polyphenols, EGCG and additional antioxidants, Vitamins B2 and C, beta-carotene and folic acid. There are also teas that can help reduce bad cholesterol and some that may help combat sleep issues.
Tea contains alpha-hydroxy acid and zinc which help ensure healthy skin. Tea is also packed with powerful antioxidants to neutralize free radicals, prevent cell degeneration and slow the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Your intake of vitamin C – especially present in Hibiscus Teas – may help keep your immune system strong. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and nutrient that is necessary to produce collagen and increase immune function, bone strength and iron absorption and promote healthy skin.
Tea also helps keep you hydrated, which is important for healthy skin, and also helps minimize wrinkles. Check out our blog post: Myth Busters: Is Tea Dehydrating?

Green Tea is full of goodness. Free radical-fighting catechins, EGCG, may reduce damage and prevent wrinkle formation. These powerful catechins have also been shown to promote healthy cell growth. Select a green tea with citrus or add a squeeze of lemon for additional vitamin C.
White Tea is the least processed tea. The leaves simply picked, withered and dried. They are not oxidized, so they retain even more of their natural antioxidants and may contain higher amounts of polyphenols. Many people find the subtle sweet flavors of white teas provide an exquisite tea drinking experience as well.
