“Tea is the most consumed drink in the world after water.”

Tea has been around for millennia. According to a dozen of studies, drinking tea on a regular basis promotes numerous health benefits.
Depending on its kind, it is extremely tasty and leaves you with a relaxing and vitalizing effect.

But where was this miracle established?

In fact, according to legends, tea was discovered by chance in China. The emperor of that period in time was particularly concerned about the hygiene of his drinking water, therefore he made his servants boil the water before drinking it. On a notably warm day, the Emperor noticed a dried leaf of tea in his water-glass, which he drank and solemnly praised. The event took place about 4,500 years ago – since then more tea has been consumed in Asia, than anywhere else in the world.

Today, India is the largest tea producer of the world and is known for its excellent Darjeeling and Assam tea. A trip to the famous Indian tea plantations is a must for any hot tea lovers. Here you can enjoy fresh brewed tea in combination with breathtaking landscapes and indescribable hospitality of the Indians.

It is true, the average Brit drinks 165 million cups of tea a day!
