Tea is an aromatic beverage made by steeping camellia sinensis leaves in hot or boiling water. It originated in China, where legends say tea leaves were first discovered after leaves fell into boiling water. Tea has a stimulating effect due to caffeine and comes in many varieties that can have cooling, bitter flavors or sweet, floral notes. In India, tea drinking is an important morning ritual and is more popular than coffee, with many Indians needing their daily cup of hot tea to refresh themselves.

2. WHAT IS TEA??
• Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or
boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an
evergreen shrub native to China and East Asia. After water, it is the
most widely consumed drink in the world. There are many different
types of tea; some, like Chinese greens and Darjeeling, have a
cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour,while others have vastly
different profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes. Tea
has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine
content.

always boil water before drinking it. One day when he was boiling
water some twigs leavea burning under the pot fell into it and its tate
was delicious and those leaves were later came to be known as tea
leaves. 2) we have an indian legend too and he is a buddist ascetic

4. IMPORTANCE OF TEA IN INDIA
• In other contries, people drink tea as a medicine. But in India, a
morning is incomplete without the Tea. The importance of tea
drinking in India cannot be confined to words, Indians have to have
their cup of hot steaming tea first thing in the morning in order to
stimulate their senses and refresh themselves. In fact some even
argue that tea as a beverage enjoys much more preference as
compared to coffee in India.
