Simplee Tea for Health

	Black Tea All black teas contain polyphenols which are powerful antioxidants and have great restorative powers. Unlike the high levels of caffeine found in coffee, the low amounts in black tea promotes blood flow to the brain without overstimulating the heart. The caffeine in black tea sharpens mental focus and concentration, and the trace element fluoride inhibits tooth decay.

One cup of black or green tea has more antioxidant power than a serving of broccoli, carrots or spinach.

American Ginseng is widely used in Chinese cooking because Chinese believed it has benefits that could destress and energised someone's mind.
