Tea's Antibacterial Power

The flavonoids in tea may suppress the growth of harmful bacteria, which helps prevent infections.


Tannins, which are found in wine as well as tea, are chemicals that bind surface proteins in the mouth, producing a tightening sensation together with giving the impression of a full-bodied liquid. They also bind and incapacitate plaque-forming bacteria in the mouth. The fluoride in tea—particularly green tea—also protects against tooth decay. Tea’s binding action makes it useful against diarrhea.
