NCIt definition : Black tea is an infusion of dried leaves from plants of the Theaceae family. Due to
the alkaloid caffeine, its main effect is stimulation. Black teas also contain other
phytochemicals such as flavonoid and flavonoid-related compounds with strong antioxidant
effects. They also attenuate atherosclerotic inflammation, reduce thrombosis, promote
normal endothelial function, and block expression of cellular adhesion molecules.
Black tea may reduce the risk of cancer, heart diseases, infectious diseases, and
degenerative diseases. (NCI04);
