What are the benefits of drinking tea?

Question

Especially black, green, white, and oolong tea. And what are some creative ways of drinking tea?

Answer 1

You can make a green tea smoothie. It boosts your metabolism, and is has vitamins.  

Answer 2

Green tea is full of vitamin C. There is caffeine in black tea, not as much as in coffee, but if you drink a good Yunnan for breakfast, it really wakes you up. Tea can only be bad for you if you drink a lot of it and have an iron deficiency in your blood.

Creative ways of drinking tea? I make iced tea with scented green teas. I use one tablespoon of tea in half a liter (a pint? sorry, I am French...) of COLD water, and put it in the fridge for about an hour. Then filter it.
