Tea contains caffeine, which improves taste and fragrance, improves focus, and takes some time to enter the bloodstream. Contrarily, a cup of coffee contains 125–185 mg of caffeine. It has been noted that those who drink coffee feel better right away. Both coffee and tea have a long history, as well as a rich and varied body of folklore surrounding their precise origins. In the present day, coffee and tea are still quite popular, with the majority of individuals regularly consuming one of the two beverages.
Coffee drinking has been linked to both positive and negative health effects. In general, moderate use, or three to four cups per day, is associated with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease, liver cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. A longer lifespan has also been related in research to moderate coffee drinking.
Heartburn, anxiety, jitteriness, and sleep difficulties can all result from drinking too much coffee. A causal relationship between coffee and cancer was hypothesized by studies done in the 20th century. The World Health Organization (WHO), however, withdrew coffee from its list of potential carcinogens in 2016 since several studies have refuted any causal link between coffee drinking and cancer.
Tea has reportedly been consumed in China from 2700 BCE. Tea was first used daily beginning in the third century CE and was originally prepared by boiling fresh leaves in water for medicinal purposes. This was the beginning of tea production and cultivation. In 350 CE, the earliest description of plantation, processing, and drinking practices was recorded. Around 800, the first seeds arrived in Japan, and by the 13th century, cultivation had spread all throughout the nation. In 1810, Chinese immigrants from Amoy introduced tea growing to the island of Formosa (Taiwan). The Dutch introduced laborer's, equipment, and seeds from China in 1833 after bringing Japanese seeds and Japanese employees to Java in 1826.
In the highlands along the border between Burma and the Indian state of Assam in 1824, tea trees were found. The British introduced the tea culture to India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka), respectively, in 1836 and 1867. They initially utilized Chinese seeds, but later on they switched to Assamese seeds. The first shipment of Chinese tea to reach Europe was sent by the Dutch East India Company in 1610. In 1669, China tea was shipped by the English East India Company from Javan ports to the London market. Later, teas produced on British plantations in Ceylon and India made their way to Mincing Lane, the hub of the London tea trade. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, tea was produced in Russian Georgia, Sumatra, Iran, non-Asian countries including Queensland in Australia, Natal, Malawi, Uganda, Kenya, Congo, Tanzania, and Mozambique in Africa, Argentina, Brazil, and Peru in South America.
Classification of teas
Teas are divided into categories based on their country of origin, such as Chinese, Ceylon, Japanese, Indonesian, and African teas, or by smaller districts, such as Kemon from Chi-men in China's Anyway Province and Enshu from Japan.
The size of the processed leaf is another way that teas are categorized. Larger leafy grades and smaller broken grades are the results of conventional processes. Flowery pekoe (FP), orange pekoe (OP), pekoe (P), pekoe slouching (PS), and slouching (S) are the leafy grades. Broken orange pekoe (BOP), broken pekoe (BP), BOP fanning, fanning, and dust are the broken grades. While leafy grades are mostly derived from the harder and older leaves, broken grades can contain significant contributions from the more delicate shoots. In current commercial grading, broken grades account for 95 to 100% of production, although leafy grades made up a significant portion of output in the past. This change is a result of growing consumer demand for teas with lower particle size that brew quickly and strongly.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

2. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
AREA
• Assam is situated in the north-eastern parts of India.
• It has a total geographical area of 78,438 sq km.
• The State has been divided into three physical divisions, viz
– (i) Brahmaputra valley (Major River in south-east Asia)
– (ii) Barak valley and
– (iii) The hilly region consisting of Karbi-Anglong and Dima-Hasao.
There are four seasons in the state viz.
(a) Pre-monsoon
(b) Monsoon
(c) Post-monsoon or Retreating monsoon and
(d) winter
The present population of Assam has four basic racial traits: the ‘Proto-
Australoid’, ‘Mangoloid’, ‘Aryo-Mangoloid’ and ‘Aryo-Mangolod-
Dravidian’
‘Bihu’ is one of the important festival celebrated mainly in the Brahmaputra
valley.
Assamese society has been reformed by ‘neo-Vaishnava Bhakti movement’, by
‘Sankardeva and Madhabdeva’.
5. • The introduction of the Assam tea bush to Europe is related
to Robert Bruce, a Scottish adventurer in the year 1823.
• ‘Camellia sinensis var Assamica’, or Assam Tea
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ASSAM
TEA
6. TYPES OF TEA
• From one tea plant, it is possible to derive six types of tea can
result from modifications in the processing method– type of
tea plant, the cultivar etc
• Green tea
• Yellowtea
• White tea
• Oolongtea
• Black teaand
• Post-fermentedtea
7. Green tea Yellow tea White tea
Oolong tea Black tea Post-fermented
8. • Yellow tea: This gives the leaves a slightly yellow colouring during the
drying process.
• White tea :White tea may refer to one of several styles of tea which
generally feature young or minimally processed leaves of the Camellia
sinensis plant.
• Oolong Tea: Oolong is neither a black tea nor a green tea. Oolong tea
falls in between and is often described as a partially oxidized tea.
• Black tea is a type of tea that more oxidized than oolong, green,
and white teas. Black tea is generally stronger in flavour than the less
oxidized teas.
• Post-fermented teas are a class of teas that have undergone a period
of "aging" in open air, from several months to many years.
• The exposure of the tea to microflora, humidity and oxygen in the air
causes it to undergo further oxidation through auto-oxidation,
fermentation, and possibly some reactivated oxidative enzymes in the
tea.

Tea Garden
• Raising plants as live fencing in tea gardens is a traditional
practice among the tea garden communities.
• 27 plants species has been used that included shrubs,
succulent shrubs and deciduous climbers with potential
economic value and also strong soil binding properties
• The traditional biofencing practice is not only to protect the
home gardens but also a part of conservation and sustainable
use of biodiversity of tea garden.

22. GREEN TEA
• In preparing Green tea, the Oxidizing enzymes are killed by
steam blasting and roasting.
• The leaf is then subjected to further heating and rolling until it
turns dark green and takes a bluish color.
• The leaves are finally dried to a moisture content of 3 to 4
percent
• With the inactivation of ‘Polyphenol oxidase’ (Catalyst), it
remains colourless, allowing the processed leaf to remain
green
• The absence of the ‘Aflavins’ and the ‘Arubigins’ (Catalyst), in
the finished leaf also gives the beverage a weaker flavour than
black tea
23. ORGANIC GREEN TEA IN
ASSAM
• Organic tea is produced using environmentally-friendly methods of
cultivation.
• Organic tea farmers use traditional, natural methods of pest and weed
control.
• Every leaf is picked by hand, and the leaves that will be used to produce the
organic green tea are boiled and then roasted and finally dried under the sun
to a distinctive taste and flavor.
• Studies have proved that green tea can prevent cancer since it
contains ‘Catechin’.
• Green tea ‘Catechin’ has also been shown to limit the Excessive rise in blood
cholesterol as well as prevent high blood pressure.
• Green tea is a strong antioxidant as well and is even more powerful than
vitamin E or vitamin C due to the presence of ‘Polyphenols’, such as
‘Epigallocatechin gallate’ (EGCG)
24. ORGANIC GREEN TEA COMPOSITION
• The best-known constituent of tea is Caffeine, which gives the beverage
its stimulating character but contributes only a little to Colour, Flavour,
and Aroma.
• About 4 per cent of the solids in fresh leaf are caffeine, and one tea cup of
the beverage contains 60 to 90 milligrams of Caffeine
• The most important chemicals in tea are the ‘Tannins’, or ‘Polyphenols’,
which are colourless, bitter-tasting substances that give the drink its
astringency.
• When acted upon by an enzyme called ‘Polyphenol oxidase’, polyphenols
acquire a reddish colour and form the flavouring compounds of the
beverage
• Green tea contains ‘Polyphenols’, which include Flava-nols, Flavandiols,
Flavonoids, and Phenolic acids; these compounds may account for up to
30 per cent of the dry weight.

27. Benefits of Organic Green Tea
• Green tea Catechins provide some protection against degenerative
diseases
• Green tea has an antiproliferative activity on Hepatoma cells and a
Hypolipidemic activity as well as the prevention of Hepatoxicity and as a
preventive agent against mammary cancer post initiation.
• Green tea Catechins also act as Antitumorigenic agents.
• Green tea consumption has also been linked to the prevention of many
types of cancer, including lung, colon, esophagus, mouth, stomach, small
intestine, kidney, pancreas, and mammary glands.
28. Tourism Perspective
• Tea tourism is 'tourism that is motivated by an interest in the history,
traditions, and consumption of tea‘.
• Tourists consume the tea experience on all levels including the 'history,
growth, production, processing, blending, and consumption’
• It is clear that Assam has enormous potential for the development of tea
tourism since these regions are closely relate to tea production since long .
• It is the engaging tea related tourism activities namely visits to
plantations to watch the plucking and then the processing of
tea.
29. • The fertile valleys of the Brahmaputra grow some of the
world’s finest and the most prized teas.
30. • But some of the tea estates in Assam are now converting their
British-built old bungalows into luxury lodgings.
31. • One can also witness the tea tasting session,
which can be a unique experience.
32. • During monsoon seasons when the tea
harvest begins. Tourist can enjoy plucking of
fragrant leafs learn about the fascinating bush
to cup.
33. Foreign tourists
• Tea tourism, though a new concept, is fast catching on with
more and more tourists making their way to the lush green
tea estates.
• Particularly among the foreigners, whose fathers,
grandfathers and even great grandfathers spent their lives in
the tea gardens in India.
• Many of those who spent their early days in the tea gardens,
but are now settled in their own countries, have fond
memories.
• A few days stay in tea gardens is like a journey down the
memory lane.
• Those who did not grow up in the gardens but heard stories
from their fathers and grandfathers too, are keen to have first-
hand knowledge of what life is like for a planter.
34. • There is still another group of foreigners who prefer to spend
a few days in tea gardens when they come to visit the old
British cemeteries spread all over the North-East.
• A large number of white men died here fighting
unsuccessfully either malaria in the marshy lands of the then
undivided Assam or the Japanese attack in the hills of Arakan.
Tea experience
• Tea tourism, it is often said, is answer to what Europe calls
wine tourism where the visitors stay in the vineyards, observe
wine-making process, taste the wine, shop for wine and local
crafts and produce.
