Tea Science Today by Felicia Dunbar

Tea Science Today explores the science-backed health benefits of various tea types, moving beyond traditional beliefs to provide a nuanced understanding of how tea impacts wellness.
The book examines key chemical compounds like catechins and theaflavins, found in green, black, and oolong teas, and their effects on cardiovascular health and cognitive function.
It highlights how different cultivation and processing methods influence the final product, ultimately affecting its health-promoting properties.

The book uniquely bridges traditional knowledge with modern scientific evidence by analyzing peer-reviewed clinical trials and agricultural research.
For example, studies suggest that green tea may aid in cancer prevention, while black tea can contribute to improved cardiovascular health.

Tea Science Today progresses by introducing the diverse world of tea, then dedicating sections to the health effects of specific varieties, and finally, exploring the impact of cultivation and processing, making it valuable for health-conscious individuals and professionals alike.
