The color of green tea becomes darker after adding honey because the iron in honey reacts with polyphenols in tea, and occasionally even precipitates out, especially eucalyptus honey, which is rich in mineral elements and may even turn tea into "ink".

Black tea, such a reaction will only affect the absorption of some minerals, and will not affect health.
