Our Awsome Banner!
Welcome Tea Lovers!
This is a group for all us tea lovers to just hang and talk about tea
Our affiliates:
Below are some great tea facts (or tea trivia if you will) to read through while enjoying a cup of tea.
A cup of black tea has half the amount of caffeine than a cup of coffee.
Drinking milk may mean stronger bones, but the same goes for a cup of tea!
In one day, an experienced tea picker can collect around 70 pounds of tea! That's enough tea to make 14000 cups! Talk about filling a quota.
A large amount of caffeine is released from tea after the first 30 seconds of brewing. Dumping this content out and pouring new hot water is a neat trick for caffeine conscience tea drinkers.
There are four main types of tea: white, green, oolong, and black. But depending on the influence of culture, these four types can turn into thousands of varieties.
The most interesting of tea facts is that all tea comes from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis.
This tea plant is an evergreen which can reach a height of over 30 feet if left to grow in the wild.
Did you know that tea can help abate your appetite? Good news for people who are dieting.
Tea can also help regulate cholesterol.
Drinking tea is also good for the heart.
The Irish consume more tea per capita than any other group in the world (that was some new tea trivia for me too!).
To get the most flavor and benefits out of tea, try brewing it by loose leaf instead of by tea bag. You will find a whole new world of tea awaits!
One pound of loose tea can make about 200 cups.
Loose leaf tea can stay for about a year if properly stored and sealed.
The tea bag was invented in the early 20th century by a tea merchant named Thomas Sullivan. This was done by accident too.
More tea facts about health suggest that tea may help prevent certain cancers, and tea has been known to fight tumors.
A cup of tea may keep the dentist away, yes I said 'dentist'. This is because tea helps fight cavities.
Don't through that old tea out! Instead try putting it in the refrigerator to help absorb odors, or use in your garden as fertilizer.
The English word for tea is, well, "tea". However the Chinese word for tea is "cha".
Cold season coming up? Drinking tea helps boost the immune system do to its natural antibacterial properties.
It is recommended to drink at least 3 or more cups of tea a day to maintain the most benefits.
Next on the tea facts list is...it takes only 3 minutes of brewing time for the antioxidants in tea to be released in your cup.
The Camellia sinensis tea plant can produce tea for 50 years.
Iced tea was invented in America, and is the most consumed "prepared tea type" in America.
'Orange Pekoe' some people think is a type of tea, but is really a grading of tea.
Speaking of grades there are 7 types which are graded by leaf size. "Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe" Try saying that 5 times fast! (FTGFOP) is the highest and "fannings"(tea dust) is the lowest.
Fannings are used in most tea bags, those same ones you find on supermarket shelves.
One cup of white tea contains the same amount of antioxidants as 10 cups of apple juice!
Although many tea facts point to white and green teas as being the healthiest, a cup of black or oolong tea proves just as good.
Sadly, most Americans turn to a hot cup of tea when struck with the common cold or flu, and do not consume on a daily or social basis. Why wait to you are sick? Enjoy tea all the time and you may help prevent getting sick; this American does!
The Boston tea party is greatly responsible for the coffee outbreak in America. Hopefully with time America rediscovers tea, and reclaims its lost tea culture.
Invite all your friends to enjoy tea with us!
Sit back and enjoy a cup
Please invite all you buddies!!!
