Health Benefits of Ahmad Tea Cardamom

The caffeine content provides an energizing boost without being too overwhelming.
4. Supports Heart Health
   Both black tea and cardamom have heart-healthy benefits. The antioxidants found in black tea can help lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve overall cardiovascular health.
