Black tea contains many polyphenols, but contains a different blend from green teas and other teas. All tea contains catechins, a type of polyphenol that is responsible for some of the health benefits of tea. In addition, black tea contains theaflavins, including Theaflavin-3-gallate and many others; these chemicals are not found in green tea, and they are thought to convey health benefits similar to the catechins. Many of these chemicals function as antioxidants.
Black tea also contains caffeine, together with small amounts of theobromine and theophylline. It is often said that black tea contains "tannins", but these refer to the polyphenols, which can be classified as tannins; tea does not actually contain tannic acid.
Tea contains very little protein but it does contain more theanine than one would expect; this is more true of some teas than others. Theanine is an essential amino acid and is thought to work synergistically with caffeine to promote more alertness with a lower caffeine intake.
Tea also contains some minerals, and can contain a lot of fluoride and aluminum, often due to pollution.

Is heating a cup of tea a chemical change?
Heating a cup of tea is a physical change, not a chemical change. The heat causes the molecules in the tea to move faster, but the chemical composition of the tea remains the same.
When a cup of hot tea cools down is that a chemical change?
When a cup of hot tea cools down, it is a physical change, not a chemical change. The molecules in the tea are simply rearranging as the temperature drops, but the chemical composition of the tea remains the same.
What is the the chemical formula for chai tea?
Lemon Tea is not a chemical therefore it has no chemical formula. Since it is a solution of natural products that have been extracted using hot water as a solvent there are probably hundreds if not thousands of individual chemicals in the solution. Even allowing for milk and sweetner the tea is probably at least 95% water and the formula for water is H2O.
Is ice melting in tea a chemical reaction?
a chemical reaction transforms a substance into another. in this case, the melting ice would only add more water to your tea, which is already composed primarily of water, infused with tea (leaves). ice melting is only changes the state of the substance--the substance itself does not change!
Is tea a chemical or physical reaction?
Deleted a wrong answer-someone said "physical." It is actually a chemical reaction because it relies on the chemical properties of water and of the substances in the tea leaf. These substances-tannins, caffeine, and many others-dissolve in the hot water. The heat accelerates the reaction, but it is not a physical change. (Try steeping a tea bag in cold water-eventually you will get tea, although it will taste a bit different, probably because heat affects the dissolution of the various substances at different rates.)

Sweet tea because of the high amounts of sugar present within its contents. Unsweetened tea has no sugar, therefore the ice does not melt as fast.
