Infusion of tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most widely consumed beverage in the world, known mainly for its aromatic and flavour benefits. Tea, especially green, has long been prized for medicinal properties. The results of experimental, epidemiological and clinical research indicate that chemical components contained in tea play an important role in shaping the overall human health. Teas infusions are a rich source of antioxidants, which not only neutralize free radicals, but also can reduce the risk of cancer and cardio-vascular disease in our body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
