Tea has a notable positive effect on the physiology and psychology of the man. The famous Australian poet Peter Altenberg called tea “soul calming” in 1913. Just as the food that we eat and that feeds our body, just like the music that we listen to and that feeds our spirit, tea purifies us from any filth and unfolds the pages of history when we drink it. Like the choice of a composer who heeds to his own soul, the choice of tea depends on the characteristics of a person. Diversity and variety of tea as opposed to other plants, of course, make one think about it all, which requires both time and effort. Of course, the tea that suits a person most will make that person feel its soul calming ability.

A famous Chinese philosopher said: “We drink tea in order to forget all the sorrows of this world”.
A handful of plant is mixed with clear water...
A cup of excellent tea...

The most important factor for choosing a tea is its taste. Just like with wine, the art of tasting tea is also very sophisticated because the taste of tea is very complex and complicated. Composed of the upper, middle and lower taste profile, tea is felt due to the union of 2 senses. Taste sensed by the tongue and sensor cells on the surface of the tongue and the flavor sensed by the odor receptors make up the very taste of tea and together with these two senses represent the 4 physical factors.

Sensation in the mouth: First tea should be evaluated by taste, which it creates in the mouth. A good tea will first make your mouth feel dry and then somewhat slippery.

Heat: Since the temperature of tea has a direct impact on the effect of its flavor elements, it plays a very important role. Tea temperature for drinking should be around 50-55 centigrade.

Brewing method: Color and pressure of taste and flavor elements in water are directly linked with the tea preparation process.
Peculiarities: The physical condition of the tea drinker (physiological and intellectual factors together with the overall health condition and age factor) is the factor that determines the degree to which the taste and flavor of tea is felt.

Tea represents a multi-century tradition that has reached us. Tea is a gift of the orient, which witnessed very many secrets.

The history of tea, the second most wanted drink after water, counts 5 thousand years. As the famous legend goes, when one of the servants of the great Chinese emperor Shen Nungun was boiling water in the garden, a leaf accidentally fell into it. The flavor that emanated immediately was so much to the emperor’s liking that he decided to taste the new drink. And so it happens that tea has become a drink that so many people still favor today.

The first extensive printed study on tea was carried out by Lu Yay, who lived in 733-804. The work titled “The tea book” provides systematic and extensive information about tea from the time of production to consumption. Thus, production and consumption of tea has developed even more. Europe got to meet this excellent drink in the 17th century. The English liked the drink, which is a source of health and vigor, so much that they turned it into a lifestyle. In the 18th century they started tea plantations in Assam and island of Ceylon, which are still considered the world’s largest tea-growing regions, and build speedy boats and ship for quick delivery of tea to Europe.
