My dear readers, I want to share some facts about tea that I've been learning from an expert Miss Sri from "T&C" Medan and also some sources from internet.
I found out that learning the way of drinking tea was a healthy lifestyle, that's why I've been into it.
Some friends said that I was a "Caffein Addict", because I loved the Tea and Coffee very much.
Not only just learning, but it was a very great pleasure to me that I can did a little collaboration with T&C to tell more about tea to Medan people (especially).
Because as my research, not so many people (based in Medan) know about tea knowledge or some else about tea, because most of people claimed that tea was just a cup of tea, and nothing to do for it.
Remember, real tea was expensive, it was not same as a cup of usual tea-bag by pouring hot water then finished.
Every country had it's own culture of drinking tea, such like Chinesse culture, Japannese, English, French and so on.

Nah, as I learned from Ms.Sri (as what she learned), there's some kind of teas that most of you know. There are black tea, green tea, white tea, and red tea.
From what I learned with Ms.Sri, I got that I loved green tea so much, because it light acid with medium caffein and less bitter.
Even there are some kind of teas, but it came from one leaves of tea plant called 'camellia sinensis'.
Then what is Tea? here's some explanation that I got from wikipedia.com.
Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour that many people enjoy.
Tea originated in China as a medicinal drink. It was first introduced to Portuguese priests and merchants in China during the 16th century. Drinking tea became popular in Britain during the 17th century. The British introduced it to India, in order to compete with the Chinese monopoly on the product.
Tea has long been promoted for having a variety of positive health benefits. Recent studies suggest that green tea may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, promote oral health, reduce blood pressure, help with weight control, improve antibacterial and antivirasic activity, provide protection from solar ultraviolet light, and increase bone mineral density. Green tea is also said to have "anti-fibrotic properties, and neuroprotective power." Additional research is needed to "fully understand its contributions to human health, and advise its regular consumption in Western diets."
Tea catechins have known anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, help regulate food intake, and have an affinity for cannabinoid receptors, which may suppress pain and nausea and provide calming effects.
Consumption of green tea is associated with a lower risk of diseases that cause functional disability, such as “stroke, cognitive impairment, and osteoporosis” in the elderly.Tea contains L-theanine, an amino acid whose consumption is mildly associated with a calm but alert and focused, relatively productive (alpha wave-dominant) mental state in humans. This mental state is also common to meditative practice.
The phrase herbal tea usually refers to infusions of fruit or herbs made without the tea plant, such as rosehip tea, chamomile tea, or rooibos tea. Alternative phrases for this are tisane or herbal infusion, both bearing an implied contrast with "tea" as it is construed here.
There's some explanation about Tea, if you want to know more you can go to the website of wikipedia :)
As I shared some ideas with Ms.Sri, why not we try to introduce about what 'real' tea is? And why it's healthy and some maybe ask, why drinking
We would loved to shared about tea with all the Tea lovers, especially based in Medan that why the collaboration was arranged.
