These benefits include stress relief, bolstering immunity, enhancing stamina, providing immune support during cold season, promoting healthy metabolism and being a natural immune-modulator.

It boosts the immune system which promotes weight loss.

OOLONG TEA
The polyphenol compound level in oolong tea is effective in controlling the fat metabolism of the body. It activates certain enzymes and thus enhances the functions of the fat cells in the human body. Developing research suggests that drinking about 4 cups of oolong tea per day in 3 divided doses improves eczema that hasn’t responded to other treatments. It may take 1 or 2 weeks of treatment to see improvement. Drinking oolong tea or other caffeinated beverages throughout the day seems to maintain alertness and mental performance.

BLACK TEA
Black tea can help reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, as it helps to expand the arteries which increases blood flow to the heart. Some laboratory tests also show that black tea may help boost metabolism to aid weight loss, block allergic response, slow the growth of tumors, protect bones, fight bad breath, improve skin, protect against Parkinson’s disease, and even delay the onset of diabetes.
