Japanese Research into Red Tea

Perhaps the highest testimony of the benefits of this pure and natural beverage comes from Japan, a society famous for its age-old devotion to the art of tea making. Here, Red Tea has been promoted as a healthy alternative to other cold and warm beverages.

Japanese scientist Matatoshi Nakano, has discovered that the effect of free radicals (a by-product of normal cell function) in the process of aging and decline of the immune system is limited by the anti-oxidants in Red Tea. If the product is brewed/boiled for longer than 10 minutes, the anti-oxidant activity becomes much higher

He found that it contained a very high content of Flavanoids which suppress nervousness and chromosome variation. It also has 50 times more SOD than Green Tea, as well as antioxidants, nutrients & essential minerals not found in other tea, making Rooibos truly unique and far superior.

They also found Red Tea to be beneficial in the treatment of high blood pressure, diabetes, mellitus, atherosclerosis, allergic diseases, various dermatus diseases, liver diseases and cataracts.
