Health benefits of herbal teas
Herbal teas are a great way to increase your hydration, and they come with added health benefits too, so win win!
Herbal teas are actually not tea (like black tea or green tea), but they are made from dried fruits, flowers, spices, and of course, herbs. This means that there is a huge variety of herbal teas, so something for everyone!
Herbals teas have been around for centuries, and some have health-promoting properties that have underpinned their use as natural remedies for hundreds of years, many of which are now being backed up with scientific studies.
Are tannins in tea really so terrible?
Tea has to be by far one of the most popular beverages worldwide, but you may have heard some bad things about tea, namely about the tannins. Is the time up for tea, or are tannins not so terrible?
In this post, I am talking about tea made from the Camellia sinensis plant, so black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, pu-erh tea, and purple tea - so many types of tea! But there are also considerable tannins in coffee, red wine and chocolate, so these should be considered too if you are thinking about tannins.
