Ceylon Tea has Health Benefits Beyond Green Tea


Single Estate Ceylon Tea From Sri Lanka is a Pure Black Tea Offering Health Benefits Beyond Those in New Frozen Green Tea Drinks

Recent studies have shown that the health benefits ascribed to green tea are equaled by traditional black teas. The fine UVA Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe Black Ceylon Tea is imported direct from Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon). Green tea contains the powerful anti-oxidant called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). Fermentation processes of black tea production converts EGCg into other compounds, leading researchers to believe that it had fewer health benefits than does green tea. But new studies show black tea contains compounds known as theaflavins and thearubigens, which offer health benefits originally attributed solely to green tea.

This Single Estate Ceylon tea is from the Ampitiyakande estate, which is found in the UVA province in the district of Badulla. This estate has been in
existence for 130 years and the Ceylon tea here is grown at altitudes from
3000 to 4500 feet above sea level. The dry wind that blows towards UVA
contributes to the fine taste and aroma this Ceylon tea displays. Black tea is often spicy, with the sweet fragrant hint of orchids.

Consider this more traditional healthy tea as a made-at-home treat that
offers healthy qualities without the fat and sweetener of the frozen blended
drinks at coffee houses. Especially enjoyable with the available Muggatea tea mug sold by Tastes of the World.
