Some people don't need to drink black tea or coffee to wake up and be ready for the day. But then there are the rest of us. Black tea offers some advantages over coffee, depending on your personal needs. Here's what happens if you drink black tea every day.

Any coffee drinker knows that bad breath is the hoppy handmaiden that comes with the caffeinated step in your stride. If you’re slamming back a few cups of Joe on a daily basis, you may even be sporting a few mints in your pocket to hide the smell. But black tea turns your mouth into a much nicer place to be. According to Dr. Mike Golpa, a dental CEO:

"Black tea helps fight bad breath. The polyphenols present in black tea kill the bacteria most commonly at fault for bad breath."

Of course, if you pour a bit of leche into your morning cup of Earl Gray, it may be a little trickier to land a morning makeout session without incident.

Golpa’s conclusion was backed up by researchers at the University of Illinois. These Midwestern minds realized the same thing in 2003 when they incubated three species of bacteria with the same polyphenols found in tea. These polyphenols slowed bacteria growth by an impressive 30 percent, which is enough to make your mouth happy. Keep watching to learn What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Black Tea Every Day!
