After water, tea is the second most consumed drink in the world. Loaded with flavonoids, antioxidants, and other healthy goodies tea is the perfect refreshment for your health and well being. Legend has it that a Chinese Emperor back in 2737 BC was sitting under a tree boiling water when a few leaves fell into his pot. He tasted this and found it to be delicious. In 1840 "Tea time" was introduced by the Duchess of England Anna, to ward off hunger between meal times. Apparently back than you ate a late breakfast around 11 and a late dinner around 8. Oh how times have changed. Now days there are thousands of teas to choose from and you can eat whenever you like. It is also no longer only for the rich and powerful. Remember the Boston Tea Party? Now over 80% of households carry this beverage. Who knew there was so much history behind Tea? I love History and I love Tea!! Some of my favorite brands include Yogi, Stash, Celestial and Bigelow. Sometimes I mix my teas together or add almond milk and honey. A good home made Chai tea is also one of my favorites if not my most favorite ;) I enjoy herbal tea as well as real tea. Real tea is made from the leaves of a plant called Camellia Sinensis. Depending on how this plant is processed will depend on if your tea is black, white, green or oolong tea.
