Other Benefits

A study published in "Nutrition" found a significant inverse relationship between frequency of tea consumption and risk of developing esophageal squamous cell cancer. A total of 343 patients with SCC of the esophagus and 755 control subjects (Taiwanese men) were included in this study. Those who consumed the most unfermented tea, including green, oolong and Orange tea (unfermented tea is higher in antioxidants) had a 0.5-fold lower risk of developing SCC. Black tea is fermented, and thus not as high in catechins.

What makes Orange tea unique is its pleasant, delicate aroma. This comes from blending the tea leaves with petals from the jasmine flower. The odor of Orange tea has been found to offer sedative effects. In a study published by the "European Journal of Applied Physiology," researchers investigated the effect of the scent of Orange tea on mood state and autonomic nerve activity of 24 healthy volunteers. Both lavender and Orange tea odors similarly calmed mood and significantly decreased heart rate. This calming effect is beneficial for stress-induced high blood pressure.

A Chinese study investigated whether tea consumption was independently associated with prevalence of stroke. Using cluster randomized sampling, 14,212 subjects were recruited from 12 provinces in China. Participants were 35 to 60 years of age. This study not only looked at tea consumption (dose, frequency) but the protective effect of different types of teas. Researchers concluded that a strong inverse correlation exists between tea drinking and stroke, independent of other risk factors. The more tea a participant consumed, the greater protective benefits he enjoyed. Tea consumption of 150 g per month (of either green, black or jasmine tea) was statistically significant in reducing risk of stroke. Though research needs to be conducted in humans to draw conclusions, animal studies have shown that Chinese green tea and jasmine tea (highest in catechins due to minimal fermentation) consumption have significant blood and liver cholesterol lowering effects. High blood cholesterol levels increase risk of heart disease. These teas also may improve the high density lipoprotein (HDL or "good") cholesterol to total cholesterol ratio, which is cardioprotective.
