Camellia Sinensis

What does black tea, yellow tea, white tea and other tea varieties have in common? They are all produced from the leaves and leaf buds of this plant. It depends in the treatment the plant undergoes.

Producers

In 2010 there were produced over 4.5 tonnes of tea worldwide! The number one producer in the world is China, followed by India, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Turkey.

L-Theanine

As you know tea also has caffeine, but the L-Theanine makes it milder and it has a different effect in the brain. Some studies link it with memory improvement and it also helps to decrease stress and anxiety.

Darjeeling Tea

It’s considered by many as a luxurious item, since the leaves necessary to produce this tea only grow in a 70 squared area in India and that’s why it’s also known as the champagne of teas.
