When I was younger, my mother would always pour me a warm cup of tea whenever I was having a hard time, whether it was because I was having trouble falling asleep, feeling ill, or because my closest friend was being like a complete jerk. Since then, I've always equated drinking tea with having a generally positive attitude and have done so largely.
I just started caring more about the ingredients in my tea a few years ago. Although I was aware of the flavors I enjoyed, I was unaware of the potential health benefits of the various teas.
Oh, what a pleasant ride! There are several varieties of tea, all of which have unique tastes and health advantages.
I was shocked to discover that a large portion of the tea I drink isn't actually tea. Black, green, white, and oolong tea are among the varieties of "tea" that are produced from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Infusions of dried fruits, flowers, and herbs, such as chamomile and ginger, are referred to as "herbals" but they are not actually tea. But since they are what we commoners regard to as tea, I'm included them here (sorry to any of you scientific-sticklers).
