Tea is without doubt the most popular beverage in the world, alongside coffee, the leaves of the Camellia sinenis plant are cured in many different ways to make a brew that can be consumed hot or cold. The Chinese quickly realised the many health benefits of tea and several Dynasties focused on finding new ways to prepare tea, which quickly spread to the rest of the world.
Increased alertness
Tea contains caffeine which is a slight stimulant and most people drink tea first thing in the morning to kickstart their day. Tea drinkers will tell you they feel calm yet focused and the general consensus is that daily cups of tea are good for your health.

Hot or cold
