Nothing better than a fresh cup of tea

Nothing better than a fresh cup of tea. My favourite flavour is Ginger, like the one from Fortnum & Mason, but I also cannot resist a fresh cup of Jasmine tea. Nowadays you see so many beautiful packaging, that it is hard to choose from.

Tea originally started in China, when the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try the infusion that his servant had accidentally created. The tree was a Camellia sinensis, and the resulting drink was what we now call tea.
