The use of tea is beneficial for health, in particular, tea has a beneficial effect on the state of the cardiovascular system, strengthens the immune system, the nervous system, supports the health of teeth and gums and even increases the male potency!
Many people think that black tea and green are two different kinds of tea. In fact, black and green tea is produced from one kind of plant, simply in different ways. The technology of processing tea leaves to produce green tea is such that it retains all vitamins and nutrients. Thus, green tea is more beneficial to the body than black tea. Natural green tea without flavors has a specific, slightly astringent taste, practically odorless. Whereas black tea is delicious and aromatic. The choice depends on the buyer's preferences.
Green tea is pleasant in combination with jasmine, bergamot, lemon, they give its taste beauty and uniqueness, enriching this useful drink with additional vitamins.
It is necessary to know that you should not drink black tea in unlimited quantities, as its excessive use provokes such diseases as constipation, insomnia, varicose veins. Green tea in large quantities can cause drowsiness (or vice versa, insomnia), weakness and irritability.
To avoid the above problems, do not eat more than 5 cups of strong green or black tea a day.
When choosing a tea, the main question arising from buyers is: what tea is better - in packages or usual? Now there is an opinion that tea in bags is made of tea dust and waste, so it is harmful to health. This is only partly true. Indeed, that a one-time tea bag can be quickly brewed, there are tea crumbs and sifting. But the producers claim that this crumb is made from the same high-quality raw materials as regular tea, so it can not bring any health hazard to the tea bag. A tea bag has the same useful properties as a regular brewed tea.
The main advantage of disposable tea bags is that they are easy to use. You can quickly enjoy a strong, hot tea, which, moreover, will not swim the tea leaves. It is better to buy that tea in bags, which does not contain additives and harmful to health impurities. Quality tea with brewing is transparent, not dull-brown.
Advantages of tea bags are that they are indispensable in the way, in hiking and traveling, in the office. But at home, it is better to make an ordinary tea for the whole family in the old way.
The shortcomings of disposable tea bags include: a high price, as compared to the usual tea of the same brand, a short shelf life, as the tea bag quickly "exhales", that is, it loses its tea aroma, which is because the tea in the bag is heavily crushed . To keep the flavor of the tea longer with the package open, many manufacturers began to produce individual packaging for each tea bag.
In order to brew a delicious, fragrant tea, you need to pick the right teapot for him. Porcelain teapots perfectly preserve the quality, taste and color of tea, they are also very beautiful and decorate themselves with any home tea ceremony. Glassware is also convenient for brewing, it does not affect the quality of tea, but the tea in the glassware very quickly cools. Ceramics - the most convenient material for brewing tea, as it is breathable, which prevents tea from premature souring. Ceramic teapot most reveals all the taste and aroma of the brewed tea leaf.
Avoid buying metal teapots, because the tannic acid contained in tea, connecting with iron, turns into our stomach in real ink!
The ideal teapot should be round in shape, on its cap there should be a small hole, thanks to which tea breathes.
For different types of tea: black and green - it is better to have separate teapots.
That's all there is to know about tea. Have a nice tea!
