Brimming with Health

Black or green, tea is brimming with heart-healthy benefits.

Compounds in green and black teas have a healthful impact on several markers of heart disease risk, but debate continues as to which kind of tea is healthiest. Recent research suggests it may be a dead heat. In a study, green and black tea appeared equally protective against fatty arterial plaque buildup.

Black, oolong, and green teas are made from leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.

Have you had a look at Camellia Tea Oil? I use a brand made here in Australia that is Extra Virgin Organic Camellia tea Oil. It has >80% monounsaturated good fat, omega 9, Vitamin E (antioxidant) and maintains its construction under very high temperature. It has a nice nutty flavour and is good for cooking or salads. Asian people have been using it for years. Website for a company here that makes it is phase5.com.au
Thanks for your website, enjoy it very much.
cheers
