Description
What is Darjeeling Tea?
Darjeeling is a small hilly region in the eastern Himalayas of India, where one of the best teas in the world is made. Darjeeling, similar to Champagne, is the only tea that enjoys a Geographical Indicator marking. Only tea grown in the Darjeeling region can be called Darjeeling.Darjeeling tea has a rich and unique aroma best described as “muscatel”, alluding to the muscat grapes that make wine having pronounced sweet floral aroma.Darjeeling is very exclusive due to the limited size of its production. Each bush yields only 100 grams of finished tea, and this is the result of 20,000 individually handpicked leaves
THE WONDERFUL HEALTH BENEFITS OF BLACK TEA
Antioxidant Rich
While green tea contains a high number of health effects, black tea isn’t far behind. Black tea is further fermented green tea leaves that are dried in the manufacturing process. Antioxidants slow down the process of aging for tea drinkers.One of the most important antioxidants in black tea is theaflavin, which scavenge abnormal cellular bodies, ridding the body of these abnormal cells before they mutate and become cancerous. Theaflavins are also responsible for inhibiting oxidation, particularly of LDL cholesterol
Heart Health
Drinkers who enjoy black tea regularly may benefit, especially if they already have cardiovascular disease. Because the theaflavins stop oxidation of LDL cholesterol, this effect helps to reduce the risk of heart disease. Drinking black tea may help heart attack patients by increasing their rate of survival following a heart attack. Black tea improves the ability of the blood vessels in the body to relax and expand, thus helping consumers maintain a healthier blood pressure. Black tea also contains a molecule called a catechin, which produces nitric oxide, helping the blood vessels in the body to dilate.
Fights Cancer
Chemicals found in black tea have been tied to a decreased risk of breast, stomach and colon cancer; however, this connection has not been definitively proven. Researchers at Rutgers University have found that a compound in black tea called TF2 kills colorectal cancer cells. Normal cells were not affected in this way
Deactivates Viruses
Researchers have known that black tea can render the germs that cause diarrhea, skin infections, pneumonia, cystitis and skin infections. Tea drinkers can also kill viruses lurking in their mouths.
