Which one is your perfect tea?

Now that we seriously stepped into a real, deep winter, one of the things that can immediately improve the psychophysical condition is a cup of hot tea. So before you start heating water, choosing a bag, or putting dry leaves in a round metal dozer, and find out the specifics of some of the most common teas in the world.

Although most teas come with instructions for preparation, it is not always so precise. Therefore, you should know that three parameters are extremely important in order to get the maximum taste and beneficial properties of tea. 

The first is the exact quantity of the amount of water in relation to the amount of tea. 

The second is to reach a certain water temperature. 

And the third is how many minutes the tea should be infused. All three rules vary depending on the type of tea.

Black tea

Processing of black tea begins with fermentation, followed by baking, drying and finally packaging. This way, you get an intense, strong and recognizable taste of black tea. He also has the most caffeine compared to other types. The aroma of black tea is often associated with chocolate and caramel. You can drink black tea without any additives, but it works quite well in combination with honey and lemon , or sugar and milk.

Green tea

It is certainly the most popular tea in Asia, but it is also popular in other parts of the world. Once harvested, green tea is thermally processed, mostly by steaming. And in terms of the percentage of caffeine, it contains, it is significantly weaker than black tea. The taste and quality of green tea vary, but you will know that it is good in that it will be rich but not too bitter in taste. It is actually tea ground into a fine green powder , which is often used in cooking various dishes .

White tea

This tea has the lightest and most delicate taste compared to all other types. This is largely due to the fact that it does not go through any processing process, except for the expected drying. For that reason, it contains the highest percentage of antioxidants, and it is recommended to drink it without adding any sweeteners or other aromas, in order to maintain its mild and specific taste.

Herbal teas

Although they are called teas, herbal teas are not in fact teas. All of the above species (black, green,and white tea) come from a single plant called Camellia sinensis. On the other hand, herbal teas are made from various other dried herbs, flowers, fruits, and spices. They are good because they do not contain caffeine, and for centuries they have helped to treat certain health problems. In this, mint and chamomile stand out, which are even more effective in combination. Hibiscus is a sour flavor and intense reddish color, but know that it is rich in vitamin C . The same goes for rosehip tea, known for helping the treatment of rheumatism and osteoporosis. Sage tea will speed up your brain twists and relieve sore throats.

So do not consume teas only when you get sick, but drink them regularly as prevention. Simply enjoy all the different flavors and benefits that plants selflessly give us.
