1. Chinese tea is special to me because it is so steeped (pun
very much intended) in history. China has been a tea drinking nation for
thousands of years and it is not just a comforting beverage there like
it is in the UK. For many people it is their livelihood and the
wonderful traditions have been passed down from generation to
generation.
2. You know the saying "a change is as good as a rest," well that goes the same way with tea. And the wonderful thing about Chinese tea is that there are literally thousands of different types. I go through phases with what I like and therefore Chinese tea is perfect for me because once I drink a certain brew too many times and I start to lose interest I can change to a different type. What's even better (or sometimes annoying depending on your personality type) is that even year on year the same teas might taste different!
3. Not only is Chinese tea for told by a long and in depth history but also many fascinating myths and legends surround it. Lots of the names of the tea come from strange and exotic stories. Tie Guan Yin and Dragonwell Long Jing are probably the most famous examples of this.
4. I don't like to shout about it or heavily rely on it but there is no denying that tea is healthy! Chinese tea has been used for medicinal purposes for a long time - I can only assume that it's been since it was discovered. Companies make many claims about how healthy and wonderful their teas are and you have to take these claims with a pinch of salt (low sodium obviously!). But it does contain anti-oxidants, it does contain fluoride, it has no calories. Should I carry on? It's not going to make you lose 100pounds in a week but it will help you as part of a calorie controlled diet and it's a wonderful substitute to unhealthy fizzy drinks loaded with sugar.
5. I get stressed easily so one of my most favourite things about tea in general is how good it is at calming me down. Yes it gives me energy but not in that "buzzing" kind of way that coffee does. It brings me up but keeps me calm. In my books, not much compares to making a brew when you are stressed out.
6. Saying that, it really does give me an energy boost. Tea contains caffeine and this is what I need in the morning when I get up, what I crave when I get to work, what I want with my lunch and what I hope I have time for in the afternoon. OK I am extreme but I love that I can rely on my favourite Chinese teas to keep energy levels up!
So that is my 6 reasons why I love Chinese tea! Do you love it? Or what is your favourite drink? Let me know!
