Since ancient times, Tea has been one of
the most widely consumed beverages in the world. Different cultures and regions
have their own methods of preparing tea. Some methods involve directly pouring boiling
water on the tea leaves while others are a little more complex and include
mixing other substances such as milk and brewing the tea in a kettle.
Recent studies that suggest that green tea
has protective properties against different types of cancer have resulted in a
high worldwide demand for organic tea. To take advantage of this, numerous
websites have been put up on the internet by companies that manufacture and
distribute tea. Buyer can purchase rare teas including
Oolong Tea-Tai Guan Yin, A Xi Oolong; Green Tea-
Longjin, Anji White Tea, Huangshan Maofeng, to name a few, from these websites.
The fresh quality of products and easy accessibility has made online tea shops
a preferred choice of buyers.
The popularity of tea can be attributed to
its rich flavour, soothing effect, health benefits and rejuvenating properties.
It is common knowledge that tea contains chemicals such as caffeine, vitamins
and amino acids. Various studies have been conducted that show that these
chemicals are beneficial to the health of a person. Traditional Chinese teas such as green tea or
black tea are thought to have anti-cancer properties. It is also suggested that
regular tea and iced tea can render many viruses including the herpes virus
ineffective.
