Britons who drink several cups of English breakfast or Earl Grey tea a day tend to see lower risk of death compared to those who hardly drink the beverage, research published on Monday found.

The observational study, conducted by following nearly half a million people in Britain for 14 years, shows that people drinking two cups or more of black tea have seen a lower risk of death. Higher tea uptake is also associated with lower risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to the study funded by the National Cancer Institute.
