Tea comes loaded with antioxidants and compounds like polyphenols and catechins that can fend off free radicals and reduce the risks of chronic diseases. Many tea leaves also come stuffed full of vitamins and minerals along with anti-inflammatory properties and immune system boosters. Tea is not only a popular drink but also a drink with refreshing and functional properties. Thus, the green and black tea leaves were collected and used for preparing green and orthodox black tea to study Anti-microbial activity. The contemporary scientific community has presently recognized flavonoids to be a unique class of therapeutic molecules due to their diverse therapeutic properties. Of these, rutin, also known as vitamin P or rutoside, has been explored for a number of pharmacological effects. Tea leaves, apples, and many more possess rutin as one of the active constituents. Today, rutin has been observed for its nutraceutical effect. The present study highlights the anti-microbial effects of green and black tea leaves extract.
