Many people will tell you that tea is but a simple beverage.

It’s nothing too special or unique. However, this simple little beverage is more important than you think. Tea has been a favorite of many people for thousands of years. The great thing about tea is that it has so many varieties and possibilities for innovation. Each culture has its own unique blend of flavors that seems to represent their identity in one little cup. This magical ability of tea that is able to transport you to another world is something you don’t see in other beverages. The benefits of variety don’t end there though. With the flexibility of flavor, tea can fit whatever mood you’re in. If you want something calming, try chamomile. If you want something to wake you up, try green tea. If you want something with a strong flavor, try a spiced chai. There are so many possibilities with tea. Now with this in mind, why don’t you go brew yourself a cup and enjoy this simple yet bold beverage.
