What's Your Cup Of Tea?

Do you know the origins of tea?
It was more than 4000 years ago in 2,737 BC, the second emperor of China, Shen Nung, discovers tea when a dead leaf had fallen into his cup of drinking hot water.
He drank it and was so taken by the refreshing effect of the tea leaf that he named it "cha" (tea in mandarin).

Since ancient times, the Chinese have been using tea to improve their health and to cure illnesses.

There are six main grades of Chinese Tea - white,green,yellow,oolong, red and black

What's your cup of tea?
I like Green Tea. For those who have a week stomach and poor digestion or having gastric, please do not drink the green tea or jasmine tea. Probably, for these people, oolong or pu er tea is more suitable.

Green tea does not have to go through the process of fermentation.
It is very high in antioxidants that boost the immune system, improve metabolism and may help to reduce the risk of lung colon and skin cancer.
Green tea can also help to prevent arthritis.

Again, though there are benefits in drinking tea, anything in excess in no good.
I would suggest 2-3 cups is sufficient.
