In particular, regular tea consumption—defined as habitually drinking tea three times per week or more—was found to be associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease.

When compared with those who drank tea infrequently or never, habitual tea drinkers had a 20 percent reduced risk of incident heart disease and stroke, 22 percent reduced risk of fatal heart disease and stroke, and 15 percent reduced risk of death from other causes.

They found that habitual tea drinkers who maintained their tea habit over the course of that time had a “39 percent lower risk of incident heart disease and stroke, 56 percent lower risk of fatal heart disease and stroke, and 29 percent decreased risk of all-cause death compared to consistent never or non-habitual tea drinkers,” the press release explains.

While green tea was associated with a 25 percent lower risk of heart disease and stroke, the team found that black tea had no such associations.

They noted that previous research has shown that drinking tea with milk, which ca be high in saturated fat, may undermine the positive effects of tea on cardiovascular health.

When the researchers controlled for gender, they discovered that men seemed to enjoy much more pronounced health benefits of a regular tea ritual than women.

"One reason might be that 48 percent of men were habitual tea consumers compared to just 20 percent of women.

Secondly, women had much lower incidence of, and mortality from, heart disease and stroke.

The researchers observed that subjects from the habitual tea-drinking group who did ultimately experience negative health episodes tended to experience them later on average than the non-habitual tea drinkers.

For instance, the team suggested that 50-year-old habitual tea drinkers would develop coronary heart disease or suffer a stroke 1.41 years later than those in the non-tea drinking group.
