Tea is one of the oldest foods in the world and continues to be a favorite drink globally. It offers hydration, warmth and a delightful variety of flavors.

Tea, whether enjoyed hot or cold, comes in numerous flavors and types. Originating from mainland China, tea was first discovered in 2737 BC during the reign of Chinese Emperor Shen Nong. Its unique aroma and taste have made it a beloved drink ever since. The tea plant, native to the Yunnan region of China, also grows in India’s Naga plain and the mountainous regions of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos and Vietnam.

In Myanmar, tea has been a cultural staple for many years, enjoyed at cultural events and as a cherished part of daily meals. Dry tea (both sweet and bitter) and wet tea are commonly consumed, with Burmese tea salad being a popular preparation. Tea is often served at important events, underscoring its significance in Myanmar culture.

The tea plant, a perennial green plant, is botanically known as Camellia sinensis (Chinese) and Camellia assamica (Assam). Despite the thousands of tea varieties worldwide, the six main types dominate the market: black tea, green tea, oolong tea, white tea, pu’er tea, and yellow tea. The shift from coffee to tea consumption is partly due to the wide range of flavors tea offers.

Drinking tea not only quenches thirst but also provides hydration and essential nutrients that support our health. While tea itself isn’t a cure-all, it contributes significantly to a healthy diet. Studies have shown that tea can boost the immune system, reduce inflammation, and protect against cancer and heart disease. For optimal benefits, health enthusiasts often drink two cups of tea in the morning and another two cups in the evening.
