The 10 Best Kinds of Tea for Your Health
Tea is a kind of aromatic beverage that comes from the tea leaf, which is derived from and commonly known as Camellia Sinensis. For more history: This evergreen shrub originates long ago — tea comes from the 3rd century AD during the Tang dynasty — from East Asia (most commonly China). Of course, you can make or combine/mix tea with just about anything, and there are plenty of health benefits to consider — sometimes the benefits are not that noticeable or are even harmful. Although, it’s not always that simple, and learning how to brew tea with a creative concoction can take some time; you can mix it with another spice or herb. With this time however, you can make something that you will taste and fulfill your health related needs. In fact, these are the 10 best kinds of tea for your health, plus a few surprises.

Essentially, tea is mostly about having a (grinded) leaf or herb of some kind that is soaked into warm water, typically from a pouch that separates the ingredients from the boiling hot water.

1. Thyme Tea
Thyme tea, like thyme, is an herbal tea from the Mediterranean (basin) region of Europe that consists of simply thyme and (warm) water — the addition of a tea bag filled with finely chopped thyme makes a striking difference. In fact, it often goes well with a tea cup, tea pot, crumpets, and a pinky out. Additionally, like all of the other teas, combining or covering its flavor with honey is often recommended, at least to some degree. Although, just like just about any tea that consist of a spice or herb, there are numerous health benefits, including anxiolytic, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antibacterial properties. It also consists of a plethora of vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, B, and C. Lastly, like many teas, it’s also a fantastic bedtime beverage, making hibernation and coughing feel almost too easy.

2. Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea is another herbaceous/spicy tea that produces a strong aroma and flavor that obviously resembles that of, well, mint leaves. “Of course, but what does this mean?” you ask. Well, it means that it may taste like your favorite kind of mint-flavored candy. However, do not allow this to fool you, as the flavor is often subtle but rich, and like most herbal teas, it’s not naturally or unnaturally caffeinated. Although, to make this even more interesting, a minor history lesson is in check: This type of tea originated from Ancient Egypt back in 1,000 BC. You see, like some other teas, this means that it even predates the use of the traditional form of tea. This also means that you can enjoy it’s fine health benefits as well, which include: digestive, energy, breath, anti-tension, anti-cramp, sleep, and cold aids.

3. Dandelion Tea
Dandelion tea is another herbal-type tea that is derived from the dandelion flower, which was often consumed by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Unfortunately, this so-called tea is very much a bitter tea with undertones of earthiness. Of course, you can combine it with whatever you please, but a simple mixture seems to work best, at least for the most part. Thankfully, this delectable tea also serves it primary purpose by being excessively healthy; however, there are plenty of obvious downsides to this, too. Well, there aren’t many downsides, but the aftertaste can be rather off-putting without a reasonable amount of sugar to hopefully balance the flavor. For the most part though, you can expect a litany of health benefits, including its unbelievable ability to calm the nervous system and detoxify you.

4. Ginger Tea
Ginger tea is one of those commonly used and understood spice teas that never gets a bad or dubiously misappropriated reputation. “What is this tea then?” you ask. Well, it’s another “ancient” tea from 5,000 years ago in China … but yes, China! Thankfully, not only does it go well with honey, but it also mixed with other herbs in the form of supplements or food, primarily. Be it the lingering flavor of spice or the soft and mellow afternotes of warmness, you really cannot go wrong, right? Unfortunately, the taste and aphrodisiacal properties are subjective. Furthermore, not only is this ginger root tea a great hangover cure, but it has pretty much the same benefits of herbs plus warm, brothy water. Yeah, but what can you expect? Well, you can mostly expect anti-inflammation, blood pressure, and anti-cancer properties.

5. Chamomile Tea
Chamomile tea is a flower-based herbal tea with ingredients that include the chamomile flower, which is often grown in Africa, Europe, and Asia. In addition to this, you guessed it, the Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians drank this fancy beverage. It can even be mixed with several other ingredients, including honey and almond milk. Of course, these are subclasses of tea that can also be mixed with any number of other herbs or “true teas.” Some of these teas are even mixed with certain other ingredients from the start, whatever they may be. Although, they are often mixed with specific kinds of tea leaves as well. This tea also has great side effects, be it the help with sore throat, sleep, and your over immune system. And like with ginger tea, you can expect some help help with inflammation, cancer, and motion sickness.

6. Green Tea
Green tea is possible the most famously named tea on this list. Furthermore, it’s essentially a tea that is made from Camellia Sinensis leaves that have not churned through the withering and oxidation process, like normal tea leaves. Not only is it the tea that tea is named after, but it also one of, if not the healthiest tea out there today. Although, like many other teas, it originated in China during ancient times, and it continues to be consumed ubiquitously today. When it comes to appearance though, it often has a pale or even opaque color, depending on what you add to it. The consistency is often light, like with other teas, and it has a plethora of benefits, be it the anti-cancer properties or the litany of vitamins and minerals that it contains. Regardless, you’re getting a swell tea to taste with some natural caffeine.

7. Black Tea
Black tea (or red tea) is the general name for numerous kind of tea that are darker in color. They are also traditionally more oxidized than oolong, yellow, green, and white teas, giving them their “murkier” appearance and stronger flavor. Additionally, they are typically high in caffeine, depending on the tea, and they came around more recently, during the mid-17thcentury in China. These teas include Assam, Ceylon, Darjeeling, Earl Grey, English and Irish Breakfast, etcetera. Although, in spite of its distinctive qualities, black tea is often associated with coffee. Why is this? Well, it’s because of it’s color and caffeine content; you can drink it to your heart’s content. Afterall, it’s one of the finest beverages around, and you can expect many of the same benefits of other teas, like energy and anti-inflammation properties.

8. Turmeric Tea
Turmeric tea is another herbal/spice tea that is often associated with joint health, which is exactly what the herb helps as well. “What does this delicious tea taste like?” you ask. Well, it tastes almost exactly like you’d expect — mostly turmeric! Although, at long last, we can finally see a tea coming from another location; this time it’s Japan. In fact, it’s Okinawa to be exact, and it’s been used in cultural traditions there before spreading more worldwide. There’s also this: The herb’s use and the tea in question have similar origin stories. Just like when consuming the herb on it’s own, you will. It often comes in a strong, thick orange color, contributing to its possibly more viscous texture, too. In the end, the benefits of turmeric tea include the following: skin, throat, immune system, energy, mood, and nutritional benefits.

9. Sage Tea
Sage tea is a herbal tea that is derived from the sage plant, a subshrub that is often used as a spice in all sorts of cooking. Of course, we’re not talking about cooking, but at the same time, it’s always worth mentioning. What’s also worthy of being pointed out is the fact that sage tea goes back to the ancient times in both Greece and Italy, meaning the Roman Empire. Although it seems strange, sage tea is not necessarily mystical, but it certainly tastes a lot like sage! What’s also worth mentioning is the unique yellow color that it creates and emits. However, in spite of the aesthetic qualities of sage tea, we also have to consider the health benefits involved in quenching your thirst with said beverage. Well, just like other teas, you can expect heart, wound-healing, skin, women’s, and cancer-treating health benefits.

10. Hibiscus Tea
Hibiscus Tea is a herbal tea made as an infusion from crimson or deep magenta-colored calyces of the roselle flower. Although, even though this sounds rather complicated, it’s rather simple, and its taste is also fairly easy to understand, too. The color is rather unique as well, with a deep, dark crimson red color that permeates your tea drinking glass. Furthermore, this works rather well with the familiar cranberry flavor that you will taste from every single sip of this bloodred wine. However, if we’re to look at things even further, then we must also understand its origin — North Africa and Southeast Asia. The health benefits are also worthy of being looked at, even if used in combination with other additives. Yeah, but what are these health benefits? Well, they include help with blood pressure, liver health, etcetera.

Ending
There are numerous kinds of tea, but the type that you decide to drink doesn’t really matter. The idea of tea has changed over the years, and there are now different types of tea just about everywhere. Although, I can say that there are different categorizations of tea that are certainly worth checking out if you are capable. Regardless, the truest thing that I can mention is that just about every kind of brewed tea can have its health benefits. Yes, many of them are very similar, but this doesn’t mean that they are not all worth mentioning with reason. Then again, just pull out that desired green tea for good.

Of course, we cannot go without mentioning the other teas, be it the smaller subsets of tea and otherwise. Although, at the same time, it’s not really all that important to mention every single thing, at least not right here. Furthermore, what you add to your tea, be it honey or additional spice, is also important, and being sure not to outweigh the benefits of your tea is almost crucially important. Lastly, it should also be understood that teas can essentially be relegated to drinkable supplements that can benefit your diet and health in more than one way. Just be sure to consume it in moderation!
