At the same time it is also consumed hot so that it can be warming and
comforting particularly when it is cold outside or first thing in the
morning.
At the same time tea contains caffeine which is a stimulant that encourages the release of adrenaline and dopamine and which increases our attention, memory and wakefulness – also making it a popular drink of choice first thing in the morning much like coffee.

Black tea is the most popular type of tea in the world. This comes from
the camellia senesis plant and is made from the leaves and the buds of
this plant. These leaves are fully fermented/oxidized after they are
dried in order to be prepared and this gives it a bitter flavour. There
are many types of black tea and these include Orange Pekoe and Earl
Gray. Seventy percent of all tea in the world is made into black tea.
Also interesting about black tea, is the fact that the area and region
where the plant is brewed will affect the taste of the tea – just like
wine.
People drink black tea in a number of different ways. Many people will drink black tea with milk and sugar and this can give it a more creamy, sweet taste. Tea with sugar is particularly good for people who are experiencing shock and can help them to replenish some of their vital nutrients. At the same time though many people will drink black tea plain, or will drink it with lemon for a more bitter taste that some find more refreshing.
Green tea meanwhile comes from the same camelllia senesis plant, but is not allowed to ferment. This results in it being lightly coloured and having a more grassy flavour. At the same time it has less caffeine which means it is less of a stimulant but is also less addicting and more healthy in a number of ways meaning you can benefit more from the other health advantages of tea. Finally 'Oolong' tea is a tea that sits between green and black tea, as a tea that is only given a short amount of time to ferment. This means it is less strong than black tea but doesn't have quite the same grassy edge as green tea.
Drinking either types of tea can have a range of benefits for one's health. It is filled with antioxidants called polyphenols, flavonoids and catenins. These prevent cellular damage from free radicals and this way slow down the visible effects of ageing while also prevent mutations of the cells that can cause cancer. It is also able to help with thermogenesis – increasing the metabolism through its stimulant nature and thereby helping the body to burn fat making it very good for all of those on a diet.
