Many Brits like to succumb to the stereotypes and relax with a cup of tea, but its nutrients may actually be the key to good health.
Tea contains plant bio actives called flavonoids which have been linked with benefits for heart health, blood vessel function and healthy ageing.
Bio actives are a naturally occurring compound in foods and other organisms that influence biological processes. They also protect biodiversity and the health of our soils, waters, and the atmosphere.
The Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) survey review found that 78% of adults in the South East have never heard of tea bio actives, despite tea drinking being so deep-rooted in UK culture.
This week is Afternoon Tea Week and TAP is encouraging everyone to take a genuine 10-minute tea break each afternoon and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of black or green tea.
Don’t forget the biscuits!!
