The latest research has shown that drinking your favourite cup of Ceylon tea can help maintain your health and well-being. The antioxidants, hydrating properties, caffeine and fluoride found in tea mean that you can always feel good about reaching for the teapot.

The Tea & Health Book, published by the Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka in 2002, is an in-depth analysis of the health properties of tea. Researched and written by Dr. WWD Modder, an eminent specialist in tea, it provides scientific proof of the benefits of tea.
