Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water
over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an
evergreen shrub native to East Asia which probably originated in the
borderlands of southwestern China and northern Myanmar.
Tea is also made, but rarely, from the leaves of
Camellia taliensis.
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 profiles that include
sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes.
