Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia taliensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia which probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern China and northern Myanmar. After plain water, tea is the most widely consumed drink in the world. There are many different types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour, while others have vastly different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes.
