Tea now is the second most consumed drink in the world, only after water. Tea, especially green tea, can particularly provide people with many benefits such as reducing dental cavities, lowering the blood pressure, slowing the spread of breast cancer and prostate cancer, and smoothing digestions...etc.
However, there is one thing that people often misunderstand about tea is tea is a miraculous drug that can cure any disease immediately. This is not true. Tea is very healthy because the plants are grown in a certain way to control the chemicals in the leaves. However, it still isn't magic. The purpose to planting this way is to maintain as much natural chemicals in the leaves as possible. These chemicals can then be transferred to your body when you drink it. It's a natural drug store
It's better to actually understand how this natural drink works in your body rather than being bombarded with promises of immediate cures and miraculous drugs. If anybody tells you that tea can cure this and that after 5 cups or so. You should ask them how tea can do that...Because honestly, I don't even know. There is a high chance that these sellers probably can't answer you. Their goals are the sales, not the information.
There's a lot of tea in the market: green, black, oolong, white, yellow, red tea. All of them come from the same plant. There are different varieties for each type. If you are a beginner, choosing tea can be confusing. So often people bought tea bags or instant tea. I guess it's okay to do this. But if you want to taste real and flavorful tea, try loose-leaf tea. It takes some time to choose which tea suits your taste, but when you find the one, your tea drinking experience will be ten times more enjoyable.
There is also non-tea drink like herbal tea. This type of tea contains a wide range of varieties. Why? Because there are so many types of herbs and flowers that can be infused with tea. To name a few like ginger, lavender, licorice root, dandelion, provisos....
Brewing tea isn't as hard as some people might think. You just need some general guideline on how long and what temperature each kind of tea should be brewed. If you have some ideas about this, brewing tea can be a very nice experience... if you have some time that is.
You probably heard of this but waiting for the tea to brew can give you a sense of relaxation and comfort. No one is else around, just you, your tea, and your favorite book. Every day, each of us has to deal with the fast pace of life and numerous worries and problems that come with it. Moments of peace and quiet became rarer each day. So stop for a moment, enjoy a cup of tea. This is probably the only worry-free moment you will ever get until you return home from work....
