Tea is a popular Chinese drink known to soothe and comfort as well as provide many antioxidants. About 10 billion servings of tea are consumed in the US annually. Laboratory tests have previously discovered major discrepancies in the contents of different varieties of tea, as well as contamination of tea leaves from heavy metals and other toxins.
Green tea and black tea are the most popular varieties of teas in the United States, due to them containing epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, an antioxidant known for its cancer fighting abilities as well as its hormone regulating capabilities and potential fat burning properties.
In addition to determining the compounds and health benefits of a product, tea testing is also performed to determine the amount of caffeine or sugar in the beverage. Tea testing can also be performed on loose tea leaves to determine the same properties.
