All About Tea

A BRIEF HISTORY OF TEA
The origins of tea can be traced back nearly 5,000 years to a legendary emperor of
China, an herbalist. It is believed that leaves from twigs he was burning floated into a kettle
of boiling water. Thus tea was born and soon flourished throughout southern Asia. As trade
routes expanded, tea made its way to the West, and today is enjoyed around the world.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF TEA
Many teas are brimming with healthful benefits like natural vitamins, minerals,
and antioxidants. Drinking any tea rehydrates the body, and its antioxidants may offer
protections against a wide range of diseases. A cup of tea can be a gentle start to the
day, a soothing mid-afternoon break, or a comfortable way to unwind and relax each
evening – it all adds up to a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
THE ART OF STEEPING TEA
Great care is taken to create each tea's unique character. When the temperature is suited
to the particular tea, and steeping time is perfect, tea lovers can savor and appreciate all
of tea's naturally aromatic flavors and health benefits. Refer to the chart on page 11 for
our recommendations. But remember, tastes and teas vary; you can always adjust to your
personal preference. Enjoy!
For most teas, the best recipe is 1 teaspoon or bag of tea per cup of water. Some
herbal blends can benefit from a bit more. When making a full pot, we suggest an extra
teaspoonful.
