January is National Hot Tea Month, as well as the peak of the Flu and Cold season.  We know that Bigelow Tea is a splendid and soothing solution for the doldrums of deep winter, and the perfect way to warm up on a cold snowy day.  So it seems that January is the perfect month to highlight all the charms of a hot cup of tea, but can Bigelow Tea also help to keep away those viruses and bacteria that come with the season?

Recent findings show that drinking black tea may improve the body’s defenses, allowing us to quickly ward off any unwanted germs.  In fact, research reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that people who drank 3 cups of black tea per day produced 5 times the amount of germ–fighting cells than those who drank coffee, suggesting that tea drinkers have a greater ability to fight viral infections than non-tea drinkers. Now there’s a great reason to warm up to a nice cup of Bigelow Tea during these cold winter months!

The reported benefits of green tea are also well documented; adding green tea to your diet has many nutritional benefits, and can also help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.  With all of the health benefits found in tea, it would be impossible not to be excited about National Hot Tea Month. We think it’s a great way to start a new year. So in recognition, grab a nice warm cup of tea, and let it energize you. It’s much easier to keep those New Year’s resolutions when you’re healthy!
