Health Benefits of Drinking Two Cups of Black Tea a Day | Maitrí Tea
Drinking two cups of black tea a day has been linked to improved longevity and reduced risk of mortality in a landmark British study. With Maitrí, each cup is hand-plucked, single-origin Ceylon black tea—crafted for clarity, wellness, and calm renewal.
Sometimes the simplest rituals make the deepest difference.
A landmark British study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine followed nearly half a million UK adults for more than a decade. The findings were clear: drinking two or more cups of black tea a day was associated with a 9–13% lower risk of mortality, including reductions in outcomes related to cardiovascular disease and stroke.
According to the National Institutes of Health, these benefits held true whether black tea was enjoyed plain or with milk, sweetened or unsweetened, and regardless of genetic differences in caffeine metabolism. The British Heart Foundation described it as “a simple, encouraging step toward everyday wellness.”
This confirms what tea drinkers have long known: drinking two cups of black tea a day is more than refreshment. It is a daily rhythm of renewal, a quiet act of care that supports wellness and longevity.
