What is tea ?  Tea is a perfumed drink made of water and
plant leaves.
 Tea is the second most popular drink in the
world.

Where tea is from?  It was discovered by
Shennong the Emperor of China. He was very particular with what he drinks because he used to boil all of his drinks.
 One day, Shennong was
sitting waiting for his water to be boiled and the wind took some leaves from a brunch and landed on his water and that is how tea was created. Shennong found it very tasty.

Growing tea leaves  The tea plant Camellia Sinensis can be grown
almost anywhere but is better in cooler climates and/ or higher lands.  Once the plant reaches maturity, it can be harvested four to five times a year.  The leaves have to be picked up at the right time so they are the right size and not to old.

The process of making tea The leaves are picked from the Camellia plant
and they are: 1) withering – spread the leaves and expose them to the air. 2) crushing – twist the leaves so they are torn into small pieces. 3) drying – tie leaves together and hang them upside down to let them dry. 4) milling – cut the leaves. 5) blending – mix the leaves and add flavors like cinnamon. 6) measuring – separate the leaves into small amounts, usually 2 grams. 7) tea bag assembly – put the measure of tea leaves into a sandwich made of paper and seal the paper into a tea bag.

Teabag history  Before the 20th Century tea was sold loose but in
1904 Thomas Sullivan put some tea into silk bags to send them to his customers and that is how tea bags were created. Nowadays the bags are made of a special filter paper, made of albaca.
 Tea is the most popular drink in China and India
but it also spreads all around the world.
