Scientists at the Tea Research Association in Assam ,the biggest tea growing state in India, are working on this project.

Malda: First thing in the morning, a cup of tea - this is a ritual for lakhs of Indians.

Tea does have some benefits but regular drinkers will tell you that it is an addictive drink. But soon, the health conscious can benefit from the life-enhancing qualities of the country’s favourite brew.

Scientists at the state-run Tea Research Association (TRA) in Jorhat, Assam are developing ‘tea biscuits’, which will contain polyphenols - the chemicals that give tea its taste and act as powerful antioxidants preventing cell damage and warding off certain cancers - but not less attractive compounds like caffeine.

“Tea lovers will be able to taste the tea in the biscuits,” TRA director Mridul Hazarika said in Jorhat, Assam.
