High Grade Teas
 
In China, the name for tea is "cha", and is presented with simplicity in a relaxed and meditative atmosphere. Drinking tea tempers the mind, body, and spirit, alerts thought, prevents and causes drowsiness,lightens and refreshes the body. There are four types of teas: black, oolong, green and white.

Tea is naturally caffeinated and depending on the brand, type, and how it is made, tea can have 10mgs to 60mgs of caffeine per 8oz serving. Herbal teas have none. When compared to coffee, which can have up to 180mgs of caffeine per 8oz, or more, tea has a significantly less amount of caffeine. Tea contains, (depending on brand, type, and how its brewed once again), 20 essential and non-essential amino acids, 12 sugars, 6 organic acids, polyphenolic compounds (Antioxidants), essential oils, fluoride, theophylline (which is used to treat asthma, helps breathing), and ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
