Green Tea – This particular tea has many health benefits, ranging from assistance in helping you lose weight to reducing the growth of specific types of cancers (such as breast, stomach and colorectal, just to name a few). It also reduces your risk of stroke like black tea and it has been found to lower your cholesterol levels and improve the function of your brain and neurological systems.

Oolong Tea – Although less common than black and green tea, oolong tea helps lower your levels of bad cholesterol so that your blood flows freely and can get into your organs and cells for optimal health.

White Tea – Just as green tea has been found to be beneficial in keeping cancer at bay, so too do the white teas.

Chamomile Tea – If you suffer from diabetes or are faced with vision loss or kidney damage, chamomile tea can help lessen these conditions.

Hibiscus Tea – This tea works to lower your blood pressure if yours tends to run higher than it should.
