THE MEANING OF TEA: TRENDS & TYPES
* Black tea is used most commonly in the Western hemisphere; less so in
Asian countries. The caeine content is higher than other teas and black
tea has been oxidized for the longest period of time in comparison to
other teas. Black tea can carry a slightly bitter avor, but when paired with
citrus, fruit or spices, it recedes and associates with other avors nicely.
Black tea has proven in studies to be an assistant in thinning the blood and
is packed with antioxidants. Black tea should be brewed using the Medium
or Strong settings.
Popular Black Teas: English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Keemun, Darjeeling, Chai

* Herbal Teas (Tisanes) are made from herbs, spices, owers, fruit and
seeds. Although these teas are not technically “tea,” they provide many of
the health-promoting benets sought by tea lovers. Brew these teas on the
Light or Medium setting unless directed otherwise.

Is it true that drinking tea can boost a healthful lifestyle? The short answer is,
“Yes!” Tea is a gentle stimulant and can assist in helping the brain actively work.
When other ingredients, such as ginger, echinacea, dried berries or citrus fruit, are
added, tea takes on additional healthful properties, such as an antioxidant boost,
a cold and u reducer, a detox boost, and other helpful roles in healthful living.
Teas are active in the body, so before drinking proprietary tea blends or herbal
teas, check to determine that they do not interact with medications or other
foods consumed.
