Yes, tea is good for you, but how so? These facts shared on Chinese social media show just some of the awesome benefits of drinking tea.
May promote longevity
A survey done on centenarians reports that 40 percent of their long-lived subjects were tea lovers, while 80 percent had the habit of drinking tea. According to their findings, you tend to live longer if you drink tea habitually. When you reach 108 years of age, it is referred to as “tea longevity” by the Longevity Research Institute.

Loads of antioxidants
Experiments on antioxidation prove that the antioxidant properties of 300 ml of tea are equal to those of a bottle and a half of red wine, 12 bottles of white wine, 12 glasses of beer, 4 apples, 5 onions, or 7 glasses of orange juice.
Weight loss is one of the benefits of drinking tea
By merely drinking tea using 8-10 grams of tea leaves daily, one can lose about 3 kg of fat in 12 weeks without doing anything else. Among all weight loss products in Japan, tea products stay on top of the sales chart.

Happiness
Tea drinking can cheer you up. The amino acids in tea promote the level of dopamine (a.k.a. the happy hormone) in the brain, which is essential for releasing feelings of pleasure.
