Healing is a characteristic of tea that has fueled its development since its discovery in China until today. Tea, for many the elixir of youth, health and beauty, has been used since ancient times due to its beneficial effect on the human body. It is used as an aid in the fight against various diseases, representing a healthy drink so that even today it is considered that teas are, in fact, the forerunner of medicines.
The strength and medicinal properties of tea lie in the concentration of substances that help protect the human body. Often, this amount of protective substances is not the result of the natural properties of tea, but rather the technological processing of its leaves.
“Tea originated as a medicine and grew into a drink”
Kakuzo Okakura, Japanese historian
It can be concluded that tea is as much a traditional as it is a modern drink. Tea culture is a component of the quality and healthy life of a modern man. All the beneficial properties of tea come to the fore in the “long run”, i.e. only through and after long-term consumption and, of course, only when they are supported by other forms of healthy living (proper nutrition and sports activities).
This claim is also proven by the boom in tea consumption in the world, which has increased threefold in the last 60 or so years.
The health of 5 human organs is strengthened by abundant consumption of 5 tastes, but since people only take 4 tastes (sour, hot, salty and sweet), and since the bitter taste, which is important for the heart, is not pleasant, it should be compensated with the bitter taste of tea .
