Green tea 🍵
Tea is the most popular beverage in the world after water.
It’s a simple preparation of pouring hot water over cured leaves of the
Camellia sinensis plant.
The first recording of tea described it as a medicinal beverage in China
🇨🇳 in the 3rd century AD. Merchants helped its popularity to spread
quickly across continents. In the early 19th century, Great Britain 🇬🇧
popularized the concept of afternoon tea, a break from one’s routine in
which tea is served alongside sandwiches and baked goods such as scones.
The flavor of tea varies by where the tea leaves 🌱 are harvested and
how they are grown and processed. Black tea is the most popular
worldwide, followed by green, oolong, and white tea.
Herbal teas are not made from the Camellia plant but from dried herbs,
spices, flowers, fruit, seeds, roots, or leaves of other plants; they do
not typically contain caffeine as do traditional teas.
