Water – life might be hard, but our tea water isn´t!
The supreme "elixir of life" and basis of a good cup of tea is often just drawn from the tap and left to boil. However, even for the ancient Chinese, hot water was a science. Water from different sources, from fast-moving mountain streams, through the then still clean river water, up to and including snow, was graded according to its purity and quality. Amazingly, water that had dripped down from stalactites was awarded the highest classification; whereas today, so called "hard" water from underground sources, which is full of lime and other minerals, would be given the lowest possible grade. Nowadays, of course, we can simply use a water filter to quickly and efficiently remove the "hardness" from the "elixir of life", thus ensuring that our tea water is perfect, even if life itself is not! |

A drink for all the family
In South Africa they have known for ages what we are slowly wizening up to: Rooibos is the ideal beverage for the whole family! Healthy, caffeine free and delicious, this red herbal infusion is definitely making its way into the spotlight in Europe as well. Unlike some sugar-laden soft drinks, it won´t ruin your kids´teeth, either! |

That the caffeine in tea is identical to that in coffee, but works differently within the body? The caffeine in coffee is absorbed by the mucous membranes in the stomach and therefore has a stimulating effect on the heart. Most of the caffeine from tea, however, is not absorbed until it reaches the intestines. Thus, the stimulating effect of the tea unfolds via the central nervous system and lasts, depending on the type of tea, up to an hour or more. |
