Can you drink black tea to treat hypertension?

Drinking black tea generally does not cure hypertension.

Although black tea is rich in vitamins and trace elements, caffeine in black tea can stimulate the cerebral cortex, excite nerves, and has no effect on controlling blood pressure. It may also cause blood pressure fluctuations, causing high blood pressure in patients. Therefore, drinking black tea generally does not cure hypertension. It is recommended that patients with hypertension drink black tea as little as possible
