About Tea

Tea is a beloved beverage with origins tracing back to ancient China, where it was first cultivated over 4,000 years ago. Made by steeping dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant in hot water, tea comes in various types, including green, black, white, and oolong, each offering distinct flavors and aromas. Tea is rich in antioxidants like polyphenols, which can help protect cells from damage, support heart health, and enhance mental clarity. Green tea, in particular, is renowned for its high catechin content, while black tea contains healthy compounds that may benefit gut health. Naturally low in calories and free of sugars, tea is a great alternative to sugary drinks. However, some variants, like sweetened iced teas, can carry added sugars and calories. As a cultural staple in many cuisines, from Asian to British traditions, tea is enjoyed for both its health benefits and comforting qualities.
