We all have been talking about detoxification by green tea these days. Have you ever thought from where the concept of green tea has come from ?

Few weeks back I visited a typical chineese restaurant and they served us green tea with the food we ordered. So I decided to explore more about it . Through my research I came to know about many interesting facts.

Benefits –

You all are well aware about the benefits of having green tea. But the interesting fact is that the not all these teas are made up of tea leaves. This includes other plant products too.( Read the complete post to know more about it)

Origin– Green tea has been originated in China. It was first made in 2737 BC during the reign of Emperor Shennong – a mythical sage. Soon drinking tea in China became the social ritual. Even in India till date , the guests are welcomed with a cup of tea ( may be with black or milk tea )

Some of the famous Chineese teas are –

• Lu’an Melon Seed – It has no relation with melon seed. Actually tea leaves look like melon seeds when dried and processed.

• Chun Mee – This is also a famous tea. It is less sweet in taste compared to other green teas.

• Xinyang Maojian tea – It has fragnant aroma and strong floral smell.
