This may sound weird, but do you think I'm addicted to drinking tea? I've been almost drinking about a mug of tea about a day, do you think this is healthy too? I drink Raseberry Zinger, Chinese Black tea, Regular Tea, and Green tea. I know drinking green tea help fights cancer but is drinking to much unhealthy? Same with the other teas. I didn't know where to put this so sorry if this is in the wrong place. ~Snookims~
Why do Chinese drink tea with nothing added on it, but the English and Indians add milk, sugar, and spices?
A majority of East Asians tend to be lactose intolerant, especially the elderly. Sugar was an expensive luxury prior to the Industrial Age and Chinese tea culture simply developed along these lines where drinking tea (mostly green tea) on its own was passed down for generations and stuck.When one considers the history of tea, black tea is a modern invention (1800s). Oxidation prolongs shelf life, which allows tea to be transported over distances, from China and India to the UK. The first tea to land on the shores of England would most likely be black tea. On its own, some may find black tea harsh on the palate with acidity closer to that of roasted coffee than green tea. I’m hazarding a guess, the English or Indians decided that adding milk, sugar and spices might do the trick, and it stuck, becoming part of a unique tea culture on its own.India had access to an abundance of sugar and spices, along with colonial influence, and her tea culture is much closer to the west compared to China, Korea, and Japan.
Green Tea or Black Coffee?
Green Tea hot or cold... It's healthier and taste so much better than coffee..! And, in the hot weather is so quenching... so good!
Is green tea better than black tea?
For me, and strictly for me, my answer to the question Green Tea or Black Tea was obvious - GREEN TEA. I based this on 3 decisions. Green Tea is Richer in Antioxidants - Green tea is better for you, because it is higher in polyphenols, which are responsible for all the health benefits of tea. The oxidation ( sometimes said as fermentation ) process that oolong tea and black tea experience destroy many of the polyphenols found in the original green tea leaf. Therefore, taste aside, if you are looking to maximize the health benfits of tea, the answer to Green Tea or Black Tea question is simple - GREEN TEA. Green Tea Has Less Caffeine - The main side effects of tea have to do with its caffeine content. If you are sensitive to caffeine, you may experience anxiety, lack of sleep, irritability, etc. Once again, the oxidation process that oolong tea and black tea experience increases their caffeine content. If you are sensitive to caffeine or just want to limit your intake, once again, the answer to Green Tea or Black Tea question is simple - GREEN TEA. Green Tea Doesn't Stain Your Teeth As Much - For about 3 months I sampled a number of black teas so that I was familiar with their quality, taste differences, etc. Much to my dismay, I noticed a huge staining of my teeth due to the darkness of the black tea compared to green tea. I have been drinking green tea for 5+ years, and had never experienced a drastic staining of my teeth as I did with black tea. Although periodic use of whitening strips will return your teeth to a whiteness, I just didn't like the obvious darkening of my teeth when drinking black tea. Hence, the answer to the Green Tea or Black Tea question was simple for me yet again - GREEN TEA.
Can we drink green tea with milk?
I grew up with tea, and I am in the business. Iced Macha Latte is very popular. However, most milk tea are made with black tea. As many teashop owners here in Taipei would tell you, it is impossible to screw up with black tea with milk.With green tea and oolong, however, it is harder to get the subtle taste properly mixed with milk. This is my trick: heat up the milk first, and used the hot milk to steep instead of water.
