The Surprising Health
Benefits of Assam Black Tea
Green tea might be getting all the press, but black tea also
deserves your attention because of its remarkably potent health benefits.
Black tea deserves just as much press as green tea once you realize
all of the benefits, including: reducing stress, improving memory and
decreasing your risk for stroke! Be sure to learn more about Body Ecology's
top-rated black Assam tea yielding
60-90 servings per bottle - ideal for hot tea or iced tea recipes
- and check out the limited-time SUPER special
opportunity on the Body Ecology Tea Pack!

Black tea, the second most popular beverage in the world after water, has
been a part of medicinal and cultural traditions for centuries. If you grew
up in the south, "sweet tea" was served at every meal. Here in Atlanta,
where one of our Body Ecology home office is located, every restaurant still
offers black tea.
Now, however, due to the growing prevalence of Body
Ecology's highly acclaimed stevia, you have an option of ordering it with
or without sugar. (Always be sure to keep a bottle of our great-tasting, sugar-free
stevia in your pocket or purse if you enjoy sweet tea or coffee and want a
great substitute for unhealthy sugar and artificial sweeteners.)
Long considered a folk remedy, new scientific studies have shown that black
tea can:
- Reduce your levels of the stress
hormone cortisol1
- Improve your memory and possibly treat Alzheimer's2
- Act as an anti-carcinogen and inhibit tumor growth3
- Decrease your risk for stroke4
Black tea certainly has huge implications for your health, but
not all black teas are the same, so if you want the benefits of black tea,
choose right!
Assam Black Tea - The Superior Black Tea
We make our Top-Rate
Body Ecology Black Tea concentrate (very economical at 60-90 servings
per container!!) with specially selected black Assam tea leaves. Assam
tea is a superior kind of tea grown in the Eastern Himalayas, where the Indian
mountains meet China and Myanmar.
The climate there is warm and wet, cradling the tea leaves in moisture as
they grow.
We employ a unique process to preserve the polyphenols, chemical substances
in the Assam tea leaves that have antioxidant properties.
As your body functions, it constantly produces unstable molecules called
free radicals that damage other cells in your body. Black tea antioxidants,
like polyphenols, scavenge your body for these free radicals to neutralize
them...and may even repair the damage they cause.
Our delicious black tea is superior to others because we use a special process
that preserves the polyphenols, while other brands lose them during processing.
The result is a concentrate just as potent as our Green
Tea.
Body Ecology's Black Tea Concentrate
If you've tried Body Ecology's Green

your tea sweet, be sure to add a few drops of nature's ideal sweetener, stevia.
Not only does stevia give beverages (or any food) a sweet taste, it is also
calorie-free, regulates your blood sugar, and aids digestion.
