The reaction of tea on your body depends mainly by the growth stage of the leaf, the brewing time, the amount of tea used and a

person’s sensitivity to tea’s ingredients.

The stimulating response of a tea is mostly due to what is called alkaloid caffeine which is then linked with tannin found inside a tea

leaf.

Almost the whole amount of caffeine is dissolved during the infusion within the first 1-2 minutes since caffeine dissolves well inside hot

water. This is without the tannin.

This short brewing era results to a brew using a high level of caffeine not related to tannin. If the tea is brewed for a longer time about 4-8 minutes, the tannin

because well because other ingredients begin to dissolve gradually. This results, however, to a stronger brew.

Tannin has the ability to prevent or delay the caffeine from being absorbed rapidly in the stomach or intestines.

It has been found that this delayed response can stretch the cumulative response of caffeine to 10-12 hours using

ordinary, daily tea-drinking.

So, if you prefer a more stimulating reaction of a black tea or green tea, believe a short brewing period and

if you only select a slightly stimulating response, have a longer brewing period.

The caffeine of a tea can be reduced by pouring a tiny boiling water on top of the quantity of tea to be used and then

sieving this off after half a minute.

When not consumed in excess, tea can have a stimulating response but not irritating unlike other beverage. This stimulating effect  does

not raise blood pressure. However, an excess intake of caffeine be able to cause an enhance inside blood pressure.

A suggested amount of tea to exercise is  a maximum of one level teaspoon per cup of tea leaves with a longer brewing

period about 4-6 minutes. This can be consumed purely with no the practice of artificial

sweeteners or sugar.

A tea left for a shorter era simply results to a milder brew.
