Drink Tea, Live Longer: Science Says Your Daily Brew Could Add 2 Extra Years

At Babooshy, we always knew tea was more than just a cozy ritual. But now the science is catching up — and it’s pouring us some seriously good news.

A large study found that people who drank about 3 cups of tea a day (roughly 720 mL) had a 24% lower risk of dying early compared to non-tea drinkers. That’s basically gifting yourself two extra years of life — no green juice cleanses or bootcamp memberships required. Just your daily brew.

Green Tea vs. Black Tea: Who Wins?

Both green and black tea deliver longevity perks, but green tea edges out with a few extra benefits:

  • 🍵 DNA repair: Green tea compounds can actually help fix cell damage.
  • 😷 Immune support: Studies show green tea may lower your risk of catching the flu.
  • 💪 Antioxidant power: It helps your body resist free radical damage (the stuff linked to aging + stress).

What Happens in Your Body When You Sip

Here’s the wild part: tea works faster than you think.

  • Within 1 hour: Green tea enzymes are already helping repair DNA damage in your cells.
  • After 1 month: Your body becomes stronger at resisting daily stress and cell damage.

So that cup of Babooshy you’re sipping today? It’s already working on tomorrow’s you.

Longevity in a Cup

We love the ritual of tea because it feels good in the moment. But knowing it could actually add years to your life makes it even sweeter. Your daily Babooshy habit isn’t just vibes — it’s longevity goals in a mug.
