Good Food Habits

The primary purpose of the black tea leaf com is promoting good food habits by means of bright & brisk gleanings from the leading researchers & experts on the field. We have begun with the natural, the oldest, the most popular beverage after water: Black tea. We believe we have made the first step, the right step in a long journey of narrating Good Food Habits.

The beverages of Black tea as well as Green tea & Oolong tea come from the same tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Green tea leaves are not fermented; they are withered and steamed. Black tea and Oolong tea leaves are products of a crushing and fermenting process. Black tea, Green tea & Oolong tea are brimming with antioxidants, the disease-fighting compounds that help human body stave off illness.

With Green tea & Black tea having a much higher amount of antioxidants than fruits & vegetables, the health benefits of tea have been gathering momentum in the latest medical discoveries. The detoxifying effect of flavonoids, a kind of antioxidant in Black tea, Green tea & Oolong tea, protects human body from damage owing to free radicals that may result in blood clot formation, atherosclerosis, and cancer. Evidence has been mounting that Black tea and Green tea may boost metabolism to protect against Parkinson’s disease, aid weight loss, protect bones, block allergic response, slow the growth of tumors, fight bad breath, improve skin and even delay the onset of diabetes. We continue to present articles on health benefits of Black tea.

On a secondary level, we are pleased to bring you narrations on mythology, history, tradition, and spread of Black tea from East to West, cultivation & modern marketing of Black tea.

Then again our propagation of Good Food Habits will continue beyond Black tea to all other good health food stuff, the miracle medicine.
