“Just like eating fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods, regular tea consumption has been shown to have significant health benefits.” <\/em><\/p> – Peter Goggi, President of the Tea Council of the USA.\u201d<\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The weather may be warm outside, but that doesn\u2019t mean Atlanta employees can\u2019t enjoy a delicious cup of hot or cold tea during their workday or on the weekend. With so many different types available, it can feel overwhelming when trying to choose one. Let\u2019s take a step back and start at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tea starts as a single plant, the Camellia sinensis. How the leaves are cared for, plucked and dried or oxidized will determine the end result. The five main types are black, white, green, oolong and puerh (or dark).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black tea<\/strong> is the most commonly consumed type in the world. In the United States, over 80 percent of the tea consumed is black. The key is to make sure that the leaves are fully fermented or oxidized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green tea<\/strong> is known to have many health\nbenefits including stress reduction and improved memory, attention and brain\nfunction. To make green tea, the leaves are heated after being plucked to\nprevent oxidation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oolong tea<\/strong> is made by only partially\nfermenting the leaves. Once the plucked leaves have withered, they are then\nfermented before beginning the drying process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White tea<\/strong> is one of the most unique\ntypes. It can only be produced by following strict harvesting and processing\nguidelines developed in the Fujian Province in China. A simple description of\nthe process includes the following steps. The leaves are hand-picked,\ndelicately handled, steamed and then dried. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puerh or \u201cdark\u201d tea<\/strong> is also unique because it is aged for decades before it is consumed. By storing it for so many years after processing, the microbes on the leaves are able to ferment to create a distinct beverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To brew an\nexcellent hot beverage, the Tea Council of the USA recommends following the Four Golden Rules<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
