Let's talk about Tea...

Tea comes from a shrub called the tea plant or Camellia Sinensis, a large shrub that can grow up to 9 meters tall. The biggest producers are India and China.
This unique drink comes from its leaves, and once infused, it offers many benefits for the body.
Speaking of infusion, it's important to say that tea is unique because of the plant it comes from, and it should not be confused with the name "infusion," which is the process used to make the drink, and which can be applied to different herbs and spices with various health benefits.
It's worth noting that tea leaves contain caffeine or theine, which distinguishes it from other infusions.
The difference in colors—green, red, black, blue, white, yellow—when we refer to tea, is due to the oxidation process applied to the leaves.
