Vitamin C
Tea is a plant with a naturally high vitamin C content (about 250mg per 100g of fresh leaves). Unfortunately, this is completely destroyed from the minute the tea is infused in water at a temperature above 30°C. Tea cannot, therefore, be used as a source of vitamin C. On the other hand, flavonoids, one of the tannins found in tea, help promote the body's absorption of vitamin C.

Vitamin P
Tea contains a considerable amount of vitamin P, which increases capillary strength and shortens bleeding time.

B group vitamins
Highly soluble in water, many B vitamins are to be found in a cup of tea. They contribute to the general good health of the human body, by kick-starting the metabolism, in other words the whole series of reactions taking place within our organic tissue: energy output, nutrition, assimilation…

Minerals

Tea is rich in potassium and fluoride. On the other hand it is low in salt, which makes it perfectly suitable for salt-free diets.

The importance of fluoride in the fight against dental cavities is well known. Tea contains 0.3mg per cup. Since we know that we need to absorb 1mg of fluoride per day to protect our tooth enamel, tea can be an effective contributor, if taken regularly.
