There are so many different variations of tea in the world
and so many different ways that it can be enjoyed. Tea can be served hot. Tea
can be served cold. Tea can be consumed to reap health benefits, or consumed
just because it tastes delicious.
Essentially all true tea is taken from the Camellia Sinensis
tree. The leaves are dried and then crushed. Depending on how they are
processed gives the different variations that they come in.
Tea, like coffee, does contain caffeine. However the amount
of caffeine in a cup of tea is much less than that inside of a cup of coffee.
Tea is a great drink for your health. Some teas contain vitamins such as
Vitamin A, B2. C, D, K, and P. Many experts recommend that drinking 3 cups of
tea every day (without milk and sugar) is the best way to get the most out of
the health benefits of tea.
Tea comes in 4 common variations, black tea, white tea,
oolong tea, and green tea. Each one is good for you in it’s own special way.
Black tea is one of the most common forms of tea in the
western world, especially in the UK. Black tea is more of a stimulant than
other teas because of it’s strong taste, and the caffeine that is contained
inside of it. This is also the tea that is often used to make iced tea. Black
tea can be had with lemon, but it is often served with milk.
White tea is a tea that is made from the buds of the tea
plants, and it undergoes almost no processing. This tea has a higher content of
antioxidant but lower stimulation properties. Because it can only be harvested
in the spring, white tea is commonly more expensive than other types of tea.
Oolong tea falls somewhere between green and black tea.
Oolong tea has been said to be good for metabolism and also good for the
digestive system.
Green tea is unprocessed much like white tea, but it is made
from mature leaves which makes it much more affordable. Green tea is high in
antioxidants and also high in fluoride and vitamin C.
Any avid tea drink needs a tea kettle to brew these teas.
