According to a new study, Black Tea can lower blood pressure variation at Night. In this study researchers randomly assigned 11 individuals with systolic blood pressure of 115-150 millimeters of mercury to drink three cups daily of black tea or a caffeine-containing flavonoid-free control drink for six months to look at the potential effects of black tea on blood pressure variation. Blood pressure variation measurements were collected throughout the study.
