We all know that tea is usually easily recognizable in the form of tea bags. What we fail to note is that the contents of each tea bag offer a different story. The origin from which they originally came from offers a more educational one and if we track back and research their real origin, we would be surprised at how the whole manufacturing mix may prove to be both educational and appealing.



Tea is nearly 5,000 years old and many of us do not even know how it came about. If you think of it, it was really an accidental discover in China when then unknown tea leaves found its place in boiling water. The result was of course a different form of clear water which turned brownish. Thankfully, the Chinese emperor was a scientist and tried out the concoction. The result was the birth of a new drink called tea which has become a traditional drink ever since.

Tea made its way outside Asia though. It reached as far as colonies of Europe today. Many of us hear them today. It has been identified as a good alternative to the usual coffee we all consume. Hence, now the preference for most people is either coffee or tea, familiar drinks offered to us wherever we go today.

Asked up front, we would immediately associate them as coming from Asian countries such as China and Japan. But other than that, the harvesting process of tea offers a lot more information than that. For one, how they are picked, processed and classified offers a more in depth process. In fact, many of us would be surprised that tea is not really the final product until it is blended into the ideal composition that caters towards what we hear today based on the three meals we often hear: morning and afternoon tea.

Now you would ask, does tea really have to be classified accordingly. The answer here is yes since for the blended tea drinkers, focus on the content and the difference that all tea classes have is important. Why? Well for one, there is more to tea than a simple sip. Tea offers health attributes to the body and this is a fact that the whole world knows. In fact, while people are too caught up finding ways to keep their internal anatomies free from toxins, most fail to realize that tea offers a better way of cleansing their bodies and provide miracles as far as tea consumption is concerned.

So how did it evolve into something that we hear today as blended tea? Well we all have our own preferences and tea is no different. There is a specific taste and mix to which most people look for. We hear about black tea, Oolong tea and of course the ever famous green tea. All of them have specific brews and compositions. It all really boils down to the person and how he or she has been briefed educated and versed on blended tea today.
