The discovery occurred by accident when the Chinese Emperor Shennong mistakenly drank water that had a dead tea leaf boiled in it. Emperor Shennong found the flavor incredibly refreshing and thus, a new beverage was created. Green tea was primarily available to the highest tiers of Chinese society and was very expensive to purchase. It was not until the 14th century that green tea became accessible to the general public for enjoyment and medicinal purposes.
Around 800 A.D., during the Tang Dynasty, an innovative book titled, "Cha Jing," also known as "The Classic of Tea" was written by a Chinese man named Lu Yu. When he was a young boy, Lu Yu was adopted by a Buddhist monk and grew up brewing and serving tea. As he grew older, his interest in tea blossomed and his abilities to make tea improved. He decided to take time away from the outside world to research and write down his findings. His book, "The Classic of... less

Have you ever stopped to rethink your decision to use tea bags just once and then throwing them away? Well, as an environmentally conscious person, I certainly have.
Most commercial tea bags are made from 25 per cent plastic, which doesn’t make them exactly environment-friendly. The plastic in tea bags may not pose a major threat to the environment, but it does add to the tonnes of the plastic waste tormenting our planet.
While the use of tea bags cannot be eliminated completely, I believe we can use and reuse them sustainably to make use of all the goodness that they have to offer. Even after brewing, tea bags and loose leaf tea have numerous uses and benefits for our homes.
Here’s a List of Certain Ways We Can Reuse Our Tea Bags.

Although it’s quite difficult to reach those levels by drinking home-brewed green tea, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful.
A safe dose of EGCg per day is around 500 mg per day. Amounts higher than 800 mg per day taken for 4 months may influence the liver, especially in people with higher BMI. Most cases of liver damage caused by EGCg were actually related to green tea supplements taken for weight loss goals, rather than traditionally brewed tea. Liver damage caused by drinking a few cups of green tea per day is, in fact, very rare. A cup of green tea can have anywhere from 2.3-203 mg of EGCg per 100 grams of drink, which is a very wide range. Therefore, 3-5 cups of green tea daily will very likely be a safe dose. You can increase the recommended dose by using the multiple-steeping technique. Dangerous high doses are usually available only in supplements.

CHINA GREEN TEA benefits from steeping with water below boiling, so as to prevent bitterness or astringency. Whether you use a teapot, gaiwan, or basket infuser, we recommend water around 180° F and an infusion time of about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Thin-walled pots and cups are ideal for Chinese greens, as they won’t cool down the hot water or trap excess heat in the vessel. However, compared to Japanese greens, Chinese green teas are somewhat less sensitive to overbrewing, so experiment with ratios, water temperature, and steeping times to find what works best for you.
The most common method in China is the most simple: a tall, narrow glass with a pinch or two of tea leaves that is filled with hot water. After a minute or so of steeping, most of the tea leaves will have settled to the bottom, and it’s possible to drink straight from the glass using your lips and teeth as a filter. When about half the liquid has been consumed, the glass can be topped off with more hot... less
