Few drinks are as popular as tea. Since ancient times, it has been grown on special plantations. Some varieties of tea have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, improve overall tone, make sleep stronger and even improve immunity. This familiar but unusual drink will be discussed in this article.

According to the method of oxidation, there are two main types of drink: black and green; the first is highly oxidized. According to this “colored” classification, there are also such varieties of tea: red, white and yellow.

Also don't drink it too much.regularly or strongly brewed as this can cause constipation.

Green tea is rich in polyphenols, helps to reduce body weight. Some of the substances

included in it, inhibit the growth of malignant cells. Green tea differs from black tea in that it has not been subjected to special processing, and therefore all natural substances have been preserved in it. Yet, despite its undoubted benefits, it is not a panacea for all diseases, and you should not drink more than five cups a day. This drink is contraindicated for those who suffer from gout, arthritis, rheumatism and similar chronic diseases. It is also worth noting that caffeine, which is part of it, can be addictive with regular use.

Now let's talk about other "colored" varieties of tea. They are not very wide

spread in our country. All of these are varieties of Chinese tea. So, yellow is suitable for true connoisseurs. Its taste is refined, delicate and unique, and the smell is fragrant. Produced only in China. For a long time this drink was kept secret in China. The technology of its preparation is special - not the leaves, but the buds of the plant go to it. They are steamed for some time, after which, wrapped in parchment, they are languished, while adhering to a certain balance of moisture and heat. Its price is very high, but it justifies itself. White tea is also expensive. However, it retains all of its properties almost in their original form. Well quenches thirst and refreshes even in the mosthot day. This is the most sophisticated of all the types listed above. Elite varieties of tea generally have a better effect on the body than more familiar ones, and also have a more refined taste.

There is another kind of classification. By type of tea leaves, tea varieties are as follows: high-grade leaf, medium-grade (leaves are partially crushed) and low-grade (completely crushed, or waste).
