The antioxidant content of tea does combat the free radical in the body which is why it's promoted as a healthy drink, on average I'll drink 4 cups a day.
 
I have between 6 and 8 mugs of tea a day 🙂 I was reading recently about how, originally, there was no tea in India. It was introduced by the British who could previously only get it from China, but China wasn't interested in trade, it would only accept gold or silver as payment. The British tried to get the Chinese addicted to opium in order to force them into other trades i.e. British goods rather than precious metals - known as the Opium Wars. We may have had the biggest empire in the world in the 19th C, but we achieved it with some inexcusable methods :(

I'm 67 now, but that was so like me. :D

Still is, but have to go to the loo more frequently now.😱
 
My dad had an aunt who he always swore died of tannin poisoning - apparently she kept a teapot on the hob all day, which she just topped up with water as the time wore on. His dad brought him and my auntie up to always refuse refreshment at her house!

Have you looked up how they extract caffeine - nasty process. and I object to paying extra to have the caffeine extracted and then you pay to have it put back into paracetemol and the like.

As it's only the caffeine they are removing I'd imagine the antioxidants goodness would remain untouched.
