Overall there are many variations of teas; they all contain many of the same elements and the variations between white, black and green teas have to do with the way they are processed.
Green teas are considered more healthful than some Black Teas.
Tea consist mostly of catechins, this is a strong type of antioxidant also found in green, white and black teas, chocolate and cocoas, plant vegetables, fruits and wines.
Teas have the highest concentration of flavonoids as compared to other foods and beverages.

They include numerous antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antiviral properties which help in maintaining healthy blood vessels, connective tissue and possible cancer treatment alternatives.
Other instant types of ready to drink tea mixes, flavored teas, etc. do not carry nearly as many health nutrients as freshly brewed green tea.
