It is said that tea is the best drink of the day it also has some great health benefits too.

Tea contains unique antioxidants called flavonoids. Not only are they good at fighting inflammation and protecting against chronic diseases (such as cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and rheumatoid arthritis), but they also work to slow the ageing process and reverse the visible signs of ageing (like wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity).

Marshside Teas also have caffeine and theanine, which affect the brain and seem to heighten mental alertness. The more processed the tea leaves, usually the less polyphenol content. Polyphenols include flavonoids. Oolong and black teas are oxidized or fermented, so they have lower concentrations of polyphenols than green tea; but their antioxidizing power is still high.

Here at Marshside Teas we aim to source the finest teas from around the world to give our customers superb quality teas at an affordable price. We are constantly seeking to add to our range, not just our teas, but quality accessories as well.
