Having Tea At Home

According to the Tea Association of the USA, tea sales got as high as $6 billion last year, much more than what you saw in the 1990's. One of the main reasons is the popularity of Green tea, a substance which is loaded with antioxidants which can help you stave off such things are cancer and heart disease. To get the same antioxidant power of a single serving of veggies, you only need to consume 2 cups of hot tea like the Green or Black varieties. Caffeine in tea is often said to be equal of that of coffee. In reality, a brewed cup of Joe has 100 mg or more of caffeine, where as a steeped cup of tea has only 40 mg in it.

Premium teas are more affordable when they are purchased in huge quantities, which helps in their price reduction. To prevent tea going bad or a long time, it's important to store tea in a dry, dark and cool place. You can brew over 200 cups of tea for a single pound of tea leaves. This makes it a perfect low-cost beverage. Fifty five million households in the US drink tea which is hot. In response to the growing demand of quality tea, restaurants and hotels have started adding different styles of superior tea to their menus. To avoid the "crash" feeling of consuming caffeine while drinking coffee, you can try drinking tea, with it's caffeine released to the central nervous system much more gradually.
