Research: Researchers examined the influence of long-term tea consumption on the risk of developing hypertension in 1507 subjects (711 men and 796 women), 20 years or older, who had no history of hypertension. Six hundred (nearly 40%) of the subjects were habitual tea drinkers, defined by tea consumption of 120 ml/day or more for at least one year.

Results: Compared with non-habitual tea drinkers, the risk of developing hypertension decreased by 46% for those who drank 120 ml/day to 599 ml/day, and by 65% for those who drank 600 ml/day or more. Tea consumption for more than one year was not associated with additional reduction of hypertension risk. As such, researchers concluded that consumption of moderate-strength green or oolong tea at 120 ml/day or more for one year significantly reduces hypertension risk.
