No such thing! It is beneficial not only to your internal organs, but also for the face and body <STRONG>skin</STRONG>. Keep in mind, however, that tea retains all its <STRONG>health </STRONG>benefits only within 20 minutes after brewing. That’s why Asian saying goes: Freshly brewed tea is healing.
