STAGGERING 85% OF BRITS WON'T BE ACHIEVING THEIR TEA 5-A-DAY THIS INTERNATIONAL TEA DAY
LONDON, May 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Data1 reviewed by the Tea Advisory Panel reveals over 8 out of 10 Brits aren't hitting the sweet spot of five daily cuppas.
- Worryingly though, on the eve of International Tea Day, the data reveals cause for concern in relation to the low volume of tea many Brits drink.
- International Tea Day – on 21st May 2023 – was launched by the United Nations2 to celebrate the world's appreciation for tea, and it's a good time to remind people about the benefits of drinking tea.
- Tea Advisory Panel member Dr Tim Bond goes on to expand on the importance of International Tea Day, explaining: "International Tea Day aims to encourage the sustainable production and consumption of tea and raise awareness of the importance of our beloved cuppa to people around the world."
- "Six of the nine different teas studied – green tea, oolong tea, black tea, safflower tea, ginger tea, and hibiscus tea – as well as their polyphenols (health-promoting plant chemicals), including flavan-3-ols and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), were found to regulate this process.
