Tea, especially varieties like green, white, and oolong, is packed with antioxidants like catechins and polyphenols, which help:
-
Fight oxidative stress (a major contributor to aging)
-
Support heart and brain health
-
Protect cells from damage
-
Reduce inflammation in the body
Green tea, in particular, is kind of the star when it comes to anti-aging benefits. It’s even been linked to longevity in several studies. And matcha? Even more potent since you’re drinking the whole leaf.
Plus, the ritual of drinking tea — calming, intentional, mindful — that itself reduces stress, which is arguably one of the best anti-aging practices out there.
Do you have a favorite kind of tea, or are you looking for one that gives specific benefits (like for skin, digestion, or focus)?
