1. Methylene chloride: Tea leaves are soaked in methylene chloride.
2. Ethyl acetate: Tea leaves are soaked in ethyl acetate.

Is tea healthier than soda? Than coffee?
Tea is considerably healthier than soda as long as you drink it without sugar or with only very low amounts of sugar.
It is hard to say if tea is better than coffee. That’s because it’s difficult to separate out their different ingredients, their role in your diet, and their effects on
different body systems. Both plain black coffee and tea have similar health benefits, but deciding which one is healthier may depend more on your everyday physical status.
