Would You Like a Spot of Tea? [infographic] APRIL 21, 2013

Tea has been an obsession of many for thousands of years. Discovered in Ancient China, the art of making the perfect cup of tea continues to be debated to this day. Even the great George Orwell chimed in with his own tea wisdom, in a detailed essay instructing the masses on how to prepare a proper cup of tea.

The health benefits alone are reason enough to break out the mugs. Increased metabolism rates, cancer fighting antioxidants, and better moods have all been associated with this world-renowned beverage.

Personally, I don’t discriminate when it comes to this drink. Black, green, caffeine-free, every type warms and comforts. But no matter what your preference is, I think you will find that this infographic has a similar effect. It’s got a little of everything. Nutrition facts, history, and those oh-so-important steeping times. I may love all tea equally, but different teas require different types of love.

Who knows, some of the world’s greatest problems might just be solved over nothing more than a decent cup of tea.

A Cupful of Tea Facts [infographic] NOVEMBER 2011

Tea is one of those catchall beverages: no matter how you feel, tea will make you feel better. Suffering from insomnia? Have some tea! Feeling great? Have some tea! Stomach ache? Have some tea! You get the idea. As the holidays approach, I may start cheating on my morning coffee with a large mug of black tea and cream.

Today’s infographic serves up some international tea trivia. For example, if you visit Tibet, your tea might be served with salt and butter. On a slightly more obvious note, tea makes up close to one half of the daily fluids consumed in the UK. With all the variations and regional tastes, tea is something we all have in common. [Green Tea]
