Teas differ in the degree of fermentation
Due to caffeine, tea and coffee are the undisputed leading drinks in the world (except water). However, we usually drink coffee in the morning while tea can be consumed throughout the day.
Teas vary according to the degree of fermentation
Black tea is drunk daily by as many as 70% of the world’s population. Boiling water is used for cooking. The leaves are subjected to fermentation. The fermentation of the drink gives it a nice amber hue and aroma. Black tea is drunk warm, chilled with ice, with milk, with various additions of flower arrangements, and with fruits and berries.
Green tea leaves are exposed to minimal fermentation. This drink is one of the most stimulating drinks because it contains a maximum of caffeine. It is cooked with hot water at a temperature of 80 to 90 ° C.
