See these tea below:
Green tea
Mild, bittersweet green tea is a rich source of catechins. Catechins are polyphenols that have an overall positive benefit to wellness and are notable antioxidants.
Turmeric tea

Black tea
This dark, bold tea variety gets its dark color from a group of polyphenols known as theaflavins.
The antioxidants in black tea may have unique effects on the immune system.
White tea
White tea is one of the lightest, most delicately flavored varieties on the market.
Previous research suggests that white tea has antioxidant benefits similar to green tea, though the antioxidant potential of green tea is still greater.

As a close relative of turmeric, ginger also offer immune-health benefits when sipped in a cup of tea.
