Tea is not only a tasty but also a healthy drink when prepared correctly.
However, in brewed tea, valuable substances begin to quickly break down, changing the properties of the drink.
Experts have revealed how long brewed tea can be stored without losing its properties.
After brewing, tea begins to gradually lose its beneficial elements.
Brewed black tea should be drunk within 10-15 minutes, as later it begins to lose its taste and aroma.
Green tea should also be drunk within the first 20-25 minutes after preparation.
According to research by scientists, harmful substances can form in tea 15 minutes after brewing.
Leaving brewed tea for several hours can become unsafe. Microorganisms and even mold can develop in it.
Therefore, it is best to drink freshly brewed tea and not brew too much.
In tea drinking, you can follow the example of the Chinese, who brew tea in small portions and drink it right away.
