Which is better for high blood pressure: black tea or green tea?

Patient's question:

My uncle has high blood pressure and he wants to drink tea. Hello doctor, should people with high blood pressure drink black tea or green tea?

Doctor's answer:

High blood pressure can be consumed appropriately, but it is not recommended to drink strong tea, whether it is black tea or green tea. However, it should be noted that drinking strong tea may cause a drop in blood pressure. In daily life, it is also necessary to pay attention to a low-salt, low-fat diet, avoid using pickled foods, high-sodium foods, as well as animal internal organs, excessively greasy foods, etc. Blood pressure should be measured regularly.
