  1. I read about a study done with black tea showing certain benefits related to the polyphenols. Are
    there also polyphenols in green tea?

    Yes, there are polyphenols in all teas. As a tea lover I try to read at least the abstracts of all
    the studies on tea and nutrition as I hear of them. Among the ones that compare greens to blacks
    some appear to show greens as more helpful than blacks. Other studies show essentially no
    difference. I don't recall seeing research giving any reason to prefer blacks over greens.

    Of course, nutrition might not be the *only* reason you'd drink tea.

    More so than green tea? All black teas vs. all green teas? You have a citation for that?
