Green Tea
Antioxidants in Green Tea can help lower risk of lung, breast, bladder, stomach and colorectal cancers; prevent clogging of the arteries, prevent Parkinson’s diseases, reduce risk of stroke and improve cholesterol levels.

White Tea
According to a research, white tea is the least processed tea and was found to have high antioxidant levels. This could potentially reduce the risks of various cancers, lower cholesterol and blood pressure, promote stronger bones and healthy heart. White tea is also rich in antibacterial properties.

Black Tea
Black Tea is a fully oxidized tea and has higher levels of caffeine than white and green tea. Polyphenols (antioxidants) in Black Tea can help protect your cells from DNA damage. Regular drinking Black Tea may also help prevent ovarian cancer, heart attack, kidney stones, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.

Peppermint Tea
One of the primary benefits of fresh mint is that it contains potent antioxidants. Mint Tea can help in digestion, soothe an upset stomach and relieve heartburn. The cool, refreshing flavor can help drivers stay alert and promote focus. The menthol in Mint Tea can relieve cough and sore throat.
