A Coffee Lover's Guide to Tea (INeedCoffee.com) (#)
„Everyone thinks that herbal tea is tea, but it really isn't tea, just like chicory grounds aren't really coffee. All tea comes from the tea plant; Latin names of the species are Camellia thea, Thea sinensis or Camellia sinesis. The plant has shiny green leaves and small white flowers. Like coffee plants, the plants can grow to 30 feet in the wild, but they tea trees are pruned to around 3 feet for cultivation.“

„A tea garden must, of course, contain camellias, even if the actual tea plant, Camellia sinensis, is a little tender for cultivation in British gardens and locations with a similar climate. Camellias are superb plants to grow in containers or in the open ground in sheltered, shady situations. Plant them near the house, as these perfect porcelain blooms need to be enjoyed as they brave early inclement weather.“

„Much of the famous New Orleans coffee was Rio coffee, with chicory added, and some coffees dark-roasted in the United States today for the Latin taste may still include Rio coffee. This is because Latins, who drank the cheap, Rioy-tasting natural coffees at home while the more expensive, washed milds were being sold to the United States, may still crave a bit of the old home-country harshness in their dark-roast blends.“

„Everyone's heard of the standard green and black, but what the heck is white tea ? It's yet another variation on the good old Camellia sinensis plant. Just when you thought there were no more ways to produce tea.“

„First of all, what is green tea? Just like black tea, it comes from the Camellia sinensis plant. Black tea is fermented and green tea is not (oolong tea is partly fermented). Green tea is very popular in China and Japan and is gaining favour in other nations too.“
