Accidentally discovered in China some 5000 years ago,the beverage has now become a lifestyle drink.The plant camelia sinensis has travelled all over the globe -from palaces,monastries,tea rooms,tea gardens,the local chaiwallah and even the vending machine.From abdul kalam to the chaprasi everyone enjoys a cup of tea.
There are different types of tea that are popular today.Black,green,Jasmine and Oolong.Kahwa from Kasmir has almonds and spices along with tea leaves and masala tea from Gujerat has a combinaation of various spices.
Tea is a good source of minerals and vitamins.Tea is known to be high in flavonoids;hence you increase your antioxidant intake when you drink tea.Tea is an excellent source of fluoride.Almost 70% of our intake of fluoride comes from tea.
Green tea protects against cancer,lowers cholesterol levels and helps to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.It reduces chances of a stroke and heart disease.Don't wait.Become a tea addict.
