A Brief History of Tea
----------------------
The origins of tea can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to a
legendary emperor of China, an alist. It is believed that
leaves from twigs he was burning floated into a kettle of boiling
water. Thus tea was born and soon flourished throughout southern
Asia. As trade routes expanded, tea made its way to the West, and
today is enjoyed around the world.
The Benefits of Tea
--------------------------
Many teas are brimming with ful benefits like natural
s, minerals, and antioxidants. Drinking any tea rehydrates
the body, and its antioxidants may offer protections against a
wide range of diseases. A cup of tea can be a gentle start to the
day, a soothing mid-afternoon break, or a comfortable way to
unwind and relax each evening – it all adds up to a y mind,
body, and spirit.
