Abstract

Tea is the second most frequently consumed cheapest non-alcoholic beverage worldwide, black tea is the most produced type, followed by green and Oolong tea. The venture of this paper is to focus on the latest research efforts regarding the health effects related to consumption of black tea and derive some future research directions towards its therapeutic potentialities. With a view of the above, comprehensive information on the fermentation process, composition, and quality of black tea has been provided. Several major beneficial roles of black tea are antioxidant activity, antiulcer effect, anti-inflammatory effect, antimicrobial properties, anticancer properties, antimutagenic activity along with the attenuating or reducing effects on blood pressure, CHD and cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, oxidative damage are important. Moreover, black tea has been found to enhance insulin activity, help in treating asthma, retard cataract, maintain fluid balance, bone health and dental health, improve mean body mass index and body weight, prevent cellular DNA damage, inhibits HIV, lower stress hormone levels, etc. The potential effect on human biosynthetic pathways related to oxidative processes as well as that on cognitive performance has also been discussed with citation from various research findings. Keywords Camellia sp; Black tea; Polyphenols; Human health; Therapy
