There are many steps between the confirmation of health benefits of tea and its use for the same. One would be the identification of the right doses in specific clinical conditions.
There is a possibility that some of tea’s beneficial compounds — EGCG — could be marketed as neutraceuticals. This presents the tantalising possibility of letting us drink tea purely for its taste without worrying about the right way of brewing it for health benefits. We would need to simply pop pills for that!
