Many people don't know the benefits of drinking tea. Below, I have listed a few of the reasons why people should drink tea rather than coffee (or in general).
1)Tea contains antioxidants (which help to prevent cancer and slow the effects of aging)
2)Tea has almost four times less caffine as coffee
3)Tea (green) Increases the body's metabolism (maning that it can help loose weight)
I hope this post was at least a little informing :-)

Tea contain flavonoid type of anitoxidant which removes free radical from the body.
Free radical can damage tissue or cells of the body.
yesterday I read another article on newspaper.It mentioned that green tea helps in prevention of acne and pimples.
However my husband use green tea for conditioning of hair.It also reduces dandruff from his scalp.
