A new research report by the Tea Advisory Panel - Let’s drink to great gut health: why a cup of tea could help to keep your gut microbiota happy (2020) - reveals that four to five cups of tea per day could boost ‘friendly’ gut bacteria, helping to reduce health risks.

According to latest research data detailed by TAP a range of different teas including black tea, green tea, oolong and pu-erh, can contribute to a positive shift in our gut microbiota; the name given to the millions of micro-organisms that live within our gut.
