Default Top Antioxidant Teas

Spotted the following in a USA Today article

Susanne M. Henning UCLA researcher and colleagues tested 20 tea brands
and found antioxidant variations were great. The top 10 of these teas
were

1. Celestial Seasonings Authentic Green Tea
2. Bigelow Green Tea
3. Uncle Lee's Green Tea
4. Lipton Black Tea
5. Salada Earl Green Tea
6. Lipton Green Tea
7. Wissotzky Earl Grey
8. Bigelow English Teatime
9. Bigelow Darjeeling Blend
10. Swee-Touch-Nee Black Tea

Most likely, these are just popular tea bag brands. Too bad white tea
wasn't included in the study.

Tried to locate this report on the web but only came up with the
following study

http://www.healthnews.ws/index.aspx?id=2085

which is mostly of interest to guys.

Anybody have a credible anti-oxidant ranking for loose teas?
