25.01.2022 Tea arrived in England during the 17th century when King Charles II married a Portuguese princess, Catherine of Braganza. The Queen made tea the drink of royalty and soon tea became a popular import to Britain via the East India Company. Afternoon tea or tea parties became a common way for aristocratic society to drink tea.

22.01.2022 Tea is not only great to drink but can be used in cooking. When your recipe requires you to add water you can substitute this with liquid tea. Or have you considered making your own rubs.This is really easy, just combine the dry tea leaf of your choice with spices and herbs that compliment what you are cooking - this will make an interesting twist to meat, fish and poultry.

22.01.2022 If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; If you are depressed, it will cheer you; If you are excited, it will calm you. William Ewart Gladstone

07.01.2022 In Ireland, you go to someone's house, and she asks you if you want a cup of tea. You say no, thank you, you're really just fine. She asks if you're sure. You say of course you're sure, really, you don't need a thing. Except they pronounce it ting. You don't need a ting. Well, she says then, I was going to get myself some anyway, so it would be no trouble. Ah, you say, well, if you were going to get yourself some, I wouldn't mind a spot of tea, at that, so long as it's no tr...ouble and I can give you a hand in the kitchen. Then you go through the whole thing all over again until you both end up in the kitchen drinking tea and chatting. In America, someone asks you if you want a cup of tea, you say no, and then you don't get any damned tea. I liked the Irish way better. C.E. Murphy, Urban Shaman

07.01.2022 Making a pot of tea is not something done in a hurry. Relax and enjoy the process.

06.01.2022 From green tea to hibiscus, from white tea to chamomile, teas are chock full of flavonoids and other healthy goodies. Regarded for thousands of years in the East as a key to good health, happiness, and wisdom, tea has caught the attention of researchers in the West, who are discovering the many health benefits of different types of teas. Studies have found that some teas may help with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; encourage weight loss; lower cholesterol; and bring abo...ut mental alertness. Tea also appears to have antimicrobial qualities. There doesn’t seem to be a downside to tea, says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Katherine Tallmadge, MA, RD, LD. I think it’s a great alternative to coffee drinking. First, tea has less caffeine. It’s pretty well established that the compounds in tea their flavonoids are good for the heart and may reduce cancer . Although a lot of questions remain about how long tea needs to be steeped for the most benefit, and how much you need to drink, nutritionists agree any tea is good tea.

04.01.2022 Tea was first planted in South India during the 1800's. Initially tea was planted in areas seen as climatically similar to Assam and the Yunnan - primarily in the highlands. These were over the next fifty years extended to lower elevations and a new agro climatic environment for tea established. Harrisons Malayalam Limited, grows tea both in perhaps the highest elevation in the world as well as in low areas. As such, we are a producer of a wide variety of teas.

03.01.2022 A new research has found that drinking a cup of black tea can prevent type-2 diabetes in humans. According to the research black tea restrains the body from absorbing glucose sugars, excess of which causes type-2 diabetes. The researchers said that their findings suggested that black tea had potential for carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme inhibition and this activity depended on high molecular weight phenolic compounds.02 Mar 2015, 5:24PM IST

01.01.2022 Stronger Bone Health and Tea By: Katrina Avila Munichiello | July 6, 2015 The journal Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition brings more good news for women who drink tea. Their love of the leaf may lead to better bone mineral density (BMD).... The study examined a wide range of epidemiological studies that had been conducted across the globe. A correlation between improved BMD and tea drinking was found for women in Canada, England, Taiwan, Iran, Japan and Australia. The amount of tea didn’t seem to make a substantial difference, with the same positive effect seen for those who drank only one to three cups as compared to those who drank more than four cups. Men did not experience the same improvement in BMD. Researchers hypothesize that the bone benefits result from the tea’s flavonoids. The flavonoids may act like estrogen, preventing the release of osteoclasts which can cause the deterioration of bones. The National Osteoporosis Foundation currently recommends eating fruits and vegetables because of the flavonoid effect, but they have not extended the recommendation to tea. Researchers hope to pursue further studies that would look at the relationship between tea consumption and bone fractures. The study, Tea and Bone Health: Findings from Human Studies, Potential Mechanisms, and Identification of Knowledge Gaps, was conducted by Leslie A. Nash and Wendy E. Ward. It was accepted for publication in December 2014 and the preliminary author version was first published in June 2015. SOURCE: Special Broadcasting Service (SBS), Australia
