Go to a health food store, a supermarket or farmer's market and you will see how many kinds of tea there are on the market. Each one is for something different and mostly they are just for drinking pleasure. Some will help you lose weight or relax you to go to sleep but mostly they are just beverages.

There are many different types of tea, but they tend to have many of the same properties:
- They are full of anti-oxidents, which is a natural chemical that slows down signs of aging such as the losening of the skin etc. These anti-oxidents are also known to help reduce the risk of cancer fairly substantially.
- Tea has another chemical in it (cant remember the name) which has been found by scientists recently to stimulate the gland in the body which secretes the hormone causing relaxation and sleep. It has been shown to reduce tension in muscles etc.
- Chinese Green Tea is rumoured to have weight loss properties. Apparently, by drinking one cup of it per day, you stand to lose 250gms (1/2Lb) per month. This has not been proven.
