5 Reasons to Drink Tea – Your own Cuppa

Like its peer coffee, tea was discovered accidentally - Must say an accident which has changed the world. Who knew such a rich heritage would be accentuated from a few leaves drifting into a pot of boiling water.

Tea drinking originated from China and these few fallen leaves have managed to travel into our daily lives all over the world.There are many benefits this iconic beverage brings to the table. But, if we have to narrow down our search, we celebrate the culture of tea drinking for the following reasons:

1. Tea is Healthy: As a health conscious society, tea has warmed its way into the hearts of Indians for many dietary reasons. One of the greatest benefits of drinking tea is having access to great flavors without the guilt of consuming extra calories. Drinking tea daily (with no milk or sugar) leads to significant reduction in blood sugar levels and triglycerides, which are unhealthy fats and this inturn reduces risk of a heart attack and stroke.
