Delicious and Healthy Tea
Black tea is fermented (70-90% of the leaf) and contains more theine than other types of tea. Black tea was actually originally called "Red Tea" due to the bright red liquid it provides after infusion. The name was changed to black tea due to the color of the leaves. Black teas provide high amounts of energy, while cleaning the kidneys and preventing cavities. Black tea also helps with digestion and blood circulation by dilating the arteries.
Green teas are non fermented teas made from mature or young leaves that sometimes still have their buds! They are mostly produced in China, Japan and Taiwan. They have properties that are very beneficial for health. Green tea is full of antioxidants that help prevent and treat cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and also neurodegenerative problems such as Alzheimers. Green tea also lowers cholesterol levels and more!
Sometimes taken for regular tea, herbal teas are not from the tea tree (camellia sinensis). They come from other plants such as flowers or roots and usually do not contain theine. Their properties are specific to each plant from which they originate. For exemple, chamomile is well known to help provide a calm night's sleep. Rooibos is known to help reduce stress levels and insomnia. Please have a look at our list of herbal teas to learn more about their individual properties.

On drinking a cup of tea: "The first bowl unctuously moistens my lips and throat. The second banishes all my loneliness. The third dispels the heaviness of my mind, refining the inspiration gained from all the books I have read. The fourth, a slight amount of sweat from my pores, making the afflictions of a lifetime disappear. The fifth purifies all the elements of my being. The sixth makes me immortal. The seventh is the last... I can drink more."
