Tea was discovered by the Chinese nearly 5000 years ago. According to legend, the wind blew some leaves of the camelia sinensis (green tea) tree into emperor Shen Nung’s cup of hot water. The taste of the brew appealed to the emperor and the rest is history.
Herbal Tea
Strictly speaking, 'herbal teas' are not really tea. Herbal tea is a term used for tea made from herbs instead of tea leaves from the tea plant (camellia sinensis).
Herbal tea is technically known as tisane, and is made from fresh or dried flowers, leaves, seeds or roots, generally by pouring boiling water over the plant parts and letting them steep for a few minutes or hours. The tisane is then strained, sweetened if so desired, and served. Herbal tea can be made from just about any herb. The majority of herbal teas have medicinal properties.
Traditional medicine recommends herbal teas as medicinal and therapeutic formulations for treating various health problems. Herbal teas are prescribed to treat ailments ranging from a sore throat to indigestion to pain in the joints. More recently, however, herbal teas have become very popular for treating insomnia and losing weight.
Some common herbal teas available are:-
Peppermint tea: Relieves bloating and headaches
Ginger tea: Eases inflammation of joints and muscle tissues
Fennel tea: Treats cough
Cinnamon tea: Lowers blood glucose and calms the stomach
Chamomile: Promotes relaxation and relieves stress
Flavored Tea
Herbal tea is not to be confused with flavored tea. Flavored teas are prepared by adding other plants to an actual tea. For instance, the popular Earl Grey tea is black tea with bergamot.
