Green tea and black tea

One investigation examined green tea and black tea's blood vessel health effects. Both tea types were found equally effective for enhancing blood vessel performance. 

The investigation verified this through having healthy women consume the teas. They discovered that following either green or black tea consumption, the women's blood vessels could dilate more readily, which benefits cardiovascular wellness. Yet when examining another blood vessel relaxation mechanism, they discovered no distinction.

With this, whether consuming green or black tea, both prove beneficial for sustaining blood vessel wellness.
