The antioxidant property values of most herbal teas were lower than those of green teas, except for a few herbal teas with high values, which could be analogous or superior to green teas (Fig. 1and Fig. 2). As shown in Fig. 2, significant differences (P < 0.01) were observed among selected herbal teas and green teas. The antioxidant capacities (DPPH, ABTS and FRAP values) of Yue Ji Hua (H90) and Teng Cha (H109) were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than the highest value of green teas (Fig. 2).
