The 9 Healthiest Teas to Drink on a Daily Basis

Black Tea:

Deep, intense flavor with higher caffeine content (47 mg per 8 ounces). Rich in theaflavin and polyphenols, it supports heart health, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and enhances immune, gut, brain, and metabolic health.

Ginger Turmeric Tea:

Caffeine-free blend offering anti-inflammatory benefits from curcumin in turmeric and pain relief and enhanced digestion from gingerols in ginger. Perfect for a comforting drink with a touch of honey.

Green Tea:

Minimal oxidation, less caffeine (about 30 mg per cup), and a subtle, earthy flavor. Contains antioxidants like quercetin, kaempferol, catechins, and EGCG, which boost immune, heart, gut, and metabolic health.

Lemon Tea:

Rich in vitamin C and limonene, lemon tea boosts immunity, fights inflammation, and has antidepressant activity. Great for daily sipping and can include lemon verbena or hot water with lemon juice/zest.

White Tea:

Least oxidized camellia tea with a delicate flavor and mild green notes. Contains l-theanine for cognitive, immune, and heart health and offers potential benefits for wound healing and skin health.

Hibiscus Tea:

Caffeine-free with a deep pink hue and tart sweetness. High in rutin and quercetin, hibiscus tea helps stabilize blood sugar, treat allergies, normalize mast cell function, and support heart health by regulating blood pressure and cholesterol.

Earl Grey Tea:

Black tea flavored with bergamot oil, offering digestive benefits by stimulating natural digestive enzymes and easing cramps, gas, and bloating. Similar caffeine content to plain black tea with added citrus benefits.

Mint Tea:

Available in varieties like peppermint and spearmint, mint teas improve cognitive functions (memory, focus, concentration) and act as carminatives to alleviate bloating, digestive issues, and aid in cough and sinus infection relief.

Oolong Tea:

Falls between green and black teas in oxidation and caffeine content, offering a combination of their health benefits. Supports heart, brain, metabolic, gut, and immune health with a variety of flavors from fresh and light to full-bodied.
