The 5 best teas

The number of tea varieties is countless – black tea, red tea, green tea, herbal tea, fruit tea… There are so many flavors and species of tea that sometimes it is difficult to choose the best one. The personal taste is the most important in this case, because not everyone likes for example sweetened tea or black tea. Tea is a special drink which you can make both hot and cold. Tea won over the hearts of people all over the world because of its rich flavors and plenty of possibilities of how you can brew it. Companies took the chance of selling tea in multiple variants – loose tea leaves, in bags or in form of powder (usually matcha). That’s why you can try whatever you want. Tea is also a great idea, if you want to give someone a gift. Beautiful tea boxes or tea cans can be a really nice-looking decoration in the kitchen. Sometimes even the tea bags can be in a fancy or creative shape of a pyramids etc. If someone you are close with is a tea lover, you can buy them a sampler box. A sampler or selection box contains several types of tea (or tea flavors), which is a nice treat, if someone drinks only black tea. You can also buy a sampler box to define your favorite flavor, so that later you can buy a bigger box or a can of that flavor. There is one country that is especially known of drinking tea – Great Britain. Every day at 5 pm (or rather 5 o’clock) British drink their favorite tea, usually with milk. The tea became a symbol of the United Kingdom and that’s why there many great tea companies that come from the UK, for example Twinings. Drinking tea is also an important custom in many countries, but one of the most popular of them is of course Japan. There is the ritual of preparing and serving green tea, namely Chadō or sadō, which means “the way of tea”. In spite of appearances Japan is not the largest green tea productor in the world. The first place in this category goes to China which produces 480,000 tons of green tea a year (to compare: Japan produces 83,000 tons a year). As you can see, drinking tea is an important custom in many regions of the world, but it is also one of the most popular drinks in the world. If you are a tea lover, or if you know someone who is, you should try new kinds and flavors of tea.
