Tea Facts

Tea Facts

Tea is entwined in many countries histories and daily routines. The second most consumed drink after water, it is found in many forms throughout the world. For many it is just a drink that may be even taken for granted, for others it is a way of life that is celebrated and is highly valued in many ways. Tea has been the cause of many battles but also created trade and dialog that has altered many a perspective. It can be used to cool those in the sweltering heat of long summers but has also sustained and warmed those in the freezing cold of mountainous regions.
