    INTRODUCTION
    What is tea?
    Tea is a drink made from either tea leaves of the Camellia sinensis
    plant or various herbs when boiling water is added. It is grown
    throughout the world.
    "True tea” vs. Herbal Tea
    Herbal teas are herbs blended together to create unique flavors
    or for desired health benefits. They are caffeine free.
    "True teas" are teas made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis
    plant. The caffeine content of these teas are is based on how they
    are prepared.
    Both teas can provide health benefits and taste great! Benefits
    vary depending on the type of tea, but most have antioxidants
    which help fight off free radicals.
    History of Tea
    Tea was first discovered in China in 2737 BC when leaves from a
    tea tree drifted into a pot of boiling water in the garden. Tea was
    mainly used for its medicinal properties. Tea became widespread
    throughout the world when traders and explorers learned about
    the tradition. Today, tea is a popular beverage that is served and
    made all over the world.
    Storage and Preparation for Tea
    Store in airtight containers, away from light, moisture, heat, and
    other odors. Tea looses flavor quickly when exposed to air.
    Prepare tea based on package directions. There are different
    brewing temperatures and steeping time for each type of tea.
    When purchasing pre-made teas, look for unsweetened options.
    This way you can control level of sweetness.
