Assam Tea

The phenolic compounds in Assam tea have antioxidant properties and function to reduce the damage of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species on cells and biomolecules. This means Assam tea may be responsible for reducing the risk of cancer, though further research is needed to confirm this. MedlinePlus states that black tea is possibly effective for lowering the risk of ovarian cancer. Preliminary evidence suggests that men who consume more phytoestrogens, which are found in black tea, have a lower risk of getting lung cancer.

The flavonoids in tea improve endothelial function — the function of the lining inside the blood vessels, cardiac valves and other body cavities. According to an article published in the journal “Molecular Aspects of Medicine,” the intake of flavonoids from either green and black tea, including Assam tea, prevents the build up of plaque inside the arteries. Thus, tea is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.  Some evidence suggests that drinking black tea is also associated with a lower risk of a heart attack.
