Digestive Aid
While black tea shares many health benefits with green tea, its plentiful tannins set black tea apart. These tannins provide significant benefits, including acting as a natural digestive aid.
Because of its many tannins, black tea slows down intestinal activity. Those suffering from gastric and intestinal illnesses (or, even, diarrhea) can get relief from black tea. One such gastrointestinal disease is GERD. Affecting 20% of adults, GERD is a type of chronic acid reflux. Nutritional adjustments, including the consumption of black tea instead of sugary drinks, can help manage GERD.
