The Health Benefits of Tea

The story of tea begins in China around 2737 BC. The story goes like this: The emperor at that time – Shen Nung was sitting beneath a green tree. His servant was boiling drinking water. Some leaves from the bush blew into the water and turned the water a light amber color. Shen Nung was also a renowned herbalist and decided to try the brew that was accidentally created. The tree was a Camellia Sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call TEA. The potential healing powers in this ancient beverage continues to interest doctors and scientist more and more each day. Recent research, for instance, suggests drinking tea may help prevent everything from cavities to Parkinson’s disease. And some studies indicate it may even save lives.

So when you are sipping on a delicious cup of warm tea or an herbal blend, please know that mother nature is working in more ways than meets the eye.
