WHY YOU SHOULD CHANGE TEA VARIETY FOR BETTER HEALTH
We all take tea but how many of us know about
them ,as how they help in keeping us in better health, every tea has different medicinal values
and we must keep trying them as per weather or our requirements, i am
giving you number of options to enjoy your cut of tea for better
health.
1.
BlackTea It
is fully oxidized during manufacture, black tea has dark brown/black leaves. Notable types of Indian black tea include : Darjeeling , Assam ,
and Nilgiri. Varieties such as Yunnan and keemun come to us from China . Ceylon (Sri Lanka ) is
also known for excellent black teas.
2. Green Tea It is prevented from oxidization dring manufacturing
, that is why green tea maintains the leaves' green color through
processing. Brew made from these delicate leaves is often vegetative. Most
green teas are produced in India , China and Japan ,
and are known for excellent.
3. Oolong tea is partially oxidized during the manufacturing
process. Because of this, the color, flavor and aroma of oolongs range widely
between the green and black teas.
4. White Tea After harvesting, white tea is simply
withered and dried (similar to an herb). As a result, white teas offer the most
exquisitely subtle tea drinking experience. These teas originated in China 's Fujian province, and continue to be produced
in limited quantities in only a few parts of the world to this day.
5. Pu-erh Tea Produced only in China ,
pu-erh processing is a closely guarded secret. Properly cared for, pu-erh
tea is actually alive as enzymes in the tea are allowed to ferment and
age, greatly enhancing the tea’s flavor over time. Pu-erh is the only “aged”
tea, and can be fully-oxidized like black tea or unoxidized like green tea.
Qing Cha (sometimes referred to as “raw” or “green” pu-erh) is the oldest and
most famous version of pu-erh processing.
6. Masala Chai Hailing from India ,
masala chai is very popular blend of tea and spices. Traditionally,
black tea serves as the foundation for this flavorful beverage, however chai
using green tea, are becoming popular. Exotic spices such as cinnamon,
ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and pepper give chai its enticing flavor.
This green based Chai is usually served with warmed water and honey
and black based with hot water ,milk and sugar.
7. Tisanes (herbal infusions) Tisanes are brews made using
botanical ingredients other than tea, such as herbs,fruit, and
flowers. Peppermint and chamomile are common examples of
tisanes.
8. Rooibos A tisane of particular note these days is
the South African herb rooibos(pronounced ROY-bus), native to the beautiful
Cedarberg region. Often mistakenly referred to as "red tea," rooibos
isn’t actually a tea plant in the technical sense, meaning that it’s not
derived from the Camellia sinensis like black tea, green tea, etc. It’s
actually a legume (a bean plant called Aspalathus linearis) and is naturally
caffeine-free, offers a whole host of medicinal benefits, and is now blended
with flavorings in much the same way tea is.
9. Yerba Mate pronounced YUR-ba MAH-tay is a small tree related to
the holly plant, native to the subtropical highlands of Brazil , Paraguay , Uruguay , and Argentina .
A vegetative brew with distinct roasty and minty notes that contains its own
variety of caffeine (called matteine), Yerba mate is a healthful brew that is
considered "the drink of the gods" by many indigenous peoples in South America . It is a staple in the diets of
many South American cattlemen.
