Tea

Tea is a popular beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, available in various types such as black, green, white, oolong, and pu-erh, each with distinct processing methods and flavors. In addition to traditional tea, there are herbal teas (tisanes) made from other plants, herbs, flowers, and fruits, like chamomile, peppermint, rooibos, and hibiscus, which do not contain Camellia sinensis leaves. Tea can be enjoyed hot or cold and is often flavored with herbs, spices, or fruit. Renowned for its cultural significance and health benefits, including antioxidants and other bioactive compounds, tea is consumed worldwide for its diverse flavors and soothing qualities.
