Tea 101:Tea and Health

	A Healthy Cuppa Tea is a great way to give your body what it needs to feel refreshed and renewed. Tea has no calories, but contains several health-promoting compounds such as antioxidants. Blends of tea and herbs can also result in a cup that's uniquely healthful, holistic and even naturally sweetened. From calorie-free, naturally sweet teas to digestive health teas, The Republic of Tea carries a myriad of options to pamper your body and help you focus on your specific needs. Sweet-tart hibiscus tea, for example, is the perfect addition to a heart-healthy diet.
	Naturally Calorie-Free Sweeteners Herbal alternatives to sugar include rare, sweet hydrangea leaves, Chinese sweet blackberry leaves, licorice root, apples and stevia leaves. They are surprisingly viable sweetening solutions — stevia leaves, for example, are 300 times sweeter than cane sugar. They're even free of calories and carbohydrates, providing a healthy alternative for lovers of sweet tea. The Republic of Tea carries several varieties of naturally sweetened, zero-calorie teas, such as our Calorie-Free Naturally Sweet Tea, sweetened only with the rare Korean Hydrangea serrata leaf. Blended with premium China black tea, this leaf yields a delectable, sweet cup with no bitter aftertaste. Truly a rare treat, it is delicious hot and is refreshing over ice.
	Be Well Red® Teas The Republic of Tea carries 19 varieties of Be Well Red Teas, providing something for everyone in our line of caffeine-free, organic rooibos-based teas.
