Popis: Anti-lipase and antioxidant activities of 5 types of tea produced by Ltd “Geoplant”, Georgia, were studied. Traditional Green and Jasmine Blossom revealed the highest antioxidant activity – 2.35 and 2.32 mg of ascorbic acid equivalents (AAE) per mL of tea infusion made according to the usual method used by consumers. Intermediate antioxidant activity was found for black tea – 1.24 mg of AAE per mL of tea infusion. Black tea with fruits had 0.53 mg of AAE per mL of tea infusion. Alpine Berry infusion had the least antioxidant activity – 0.35 mg of AAE per mL of tea infusion. Antioxidant activities of teas were in correlation with total polyphenol contents in tea infusions with R2 = 0.81. Green traditional and black tea showed the highest level of lipase inhibition, i.e. 70.6% and 70.3% per mL (11.7% per mg dry matter) of infusion. The values were not statistically significantly different (p
