Black Tea - Thea sinensis Kuntze

Used part: Leaf and stem
Description:
The difference between green tea and black tea is the treatment of leaves, because both come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, yet in green tea the leaves are cooler, in black tea the leaves are passed by the heat, oxidized and fermented, which makes its flavor even more intense and slightly changes its medicinal properties.

Another great positive effect of black tea is diabetes control. But in addition, literature affirm a potential of this infusion in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In the case of diabetes, this effect is believed to be a result of reduced blood glucose. It is also important to note that the herb is still used to combat obesity, one of the factors that leads to diabetes. The plant has flavonoids, when consumed, inhibit the enzyme lipase. Without it, fats are not digested, and some fats obtained through feed are eliminated and not absorbed.

These fats go to the liver where they can be destroyed, preventing them from depositing in the arteries.
