Black tea retains a sufficient amount of antioxidants, which shield the immune system. It can also reduce the levels of "stress hormone" (cortisol), and has been studied for its positive effect on Parkinson disease , and those who want to prevent it.

Studies attribute positive effects against cancer, cholesterol, arthritis, oral hygiene and obesity. Note, however, that while the more black tea you drink, the greater the benefits, it contains the highest percentage of caffeine from all varieties of tea - but even so, it has only half the amount compared to coffee.
