Vitamins & Minerals:  Tea is an excellent source of antioxidants.  Also contains quercetin and Vitamin C.  Tea is a natural stimulant, rather like coffee, but adds more nutrients to the mix.  The longer you steep the tea, the more nutrients will be extracted, but some teas become unfathomably bitter if you let them steep too long.

Used for:  General bone and heart health.
