Drinking Tea Improves Brain Power, Boosts Creative Performance

Most of us start our day with a warm cup of refreshing tea. Many can’t even function without consuming the warm beverage, and now, a new study has revealed that it actually helps in giving our brains the necessary boost.

This is according to researchers from Peking University who conducted a study (published in the journal Food Quality and Preference) to understand if consuming tea actually improved our convergent thinking capabilities.

The study was conducted by psychologist Lei Wang of Peking University, China and other researchers. They recruited a total of 100 individuals and asked them to solve riddles or word association tasks, based on different difficulty levels.

Before they commenced, each subject was given either a cup of water or black tea -- both heated to a temperature of 42 degrees celsius.

Analysis revealed that the individuals who consumed tea performed better in the creative task at a high difficulty level than those who consumed water. However, on a lower difficulty level, both water and tea performed alike.
