The polyphenols in Darjeeling tea stimulate good bacteria growth in your digestive system. Higher levels of bad bacteria may contribute to obesity, while good bacteria helps you lose weight. Compounds in black tea may help slow bacterial growth, preventing dental cavities and plaque.

The leaves in Darjeeling tea contain polyphenols or plant compounds that fight inflammation and chronic (long-term) disease. Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world. Black tea is a healthy alternative to coffee and sugar-laden energy drinks.

Tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, second only to water. According to experts, benefits of drinking tea, however small, could have a big impact on global public health. There’s evidence drinking black tea can:

Boost Heart Health

Recent studies have shown that flavonoids or phytonutrient-rich plant pigments found in tea can lower cholesterol levels. High cholesterol leads to high blood pressure, heart attacks, or stroke, so drinking tea can help you reduce your risk of developing those diseases.

Fight Cancer

Two important polyphenols found in Darjeeling tea—theaflavins and thearubigins—are considered powerful antioxidants. These compounds protect against free radicals (harmful molecules) that damage cell DNA and cause cells to mutate.

Tea polyphenols have also shown promise in shrinking cancerous tumors and protecting against damage from ultraviolet (UV) rays.


Help Lower Blood Sugar Levels

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects how your body uses insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes have high blood sugar because their bodies don’t make enough insulin.

In a recent study, black tea extract appeared to lower blood sugar levels, allowing people with diabetes to metabolize (process) insulin more efficiently.
