Black Tea
Black tea leaves are exposed to moist, oxygen-rich air and are rolled or crushed to release an enzyme(酶), giving rich flavor and color. Lots of people in the US drink it either hot or cold. Drinking it regularly is helpful to strengthen your bones.

Some data suggests that green tea can also reduce blood pressure, and so lowers your risk of heart attack or stroke.
