BBC News | HEALTH | Tea 'could help prevent cancer' (#)

„The protective effect of tea is far from proven, and more well-designed, large-scale human studies are needed Thomas Lober, Cancer Research UK The presence of the chemicals was associated with a lower cancer risk, leading the US researchers to conclude they had cancer-preventing properties. Tea comes from the plant, Camellia sinensis, which is thought to contain extremely powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants are important because they combat the body's free radicals - charged particles, produced by the body, which can damage cells. It is thought that under a state of imbalance, or oxidative stress, cells may mutate and contribute to disease processes, including cancer.“

BBC Birmingham - Review: Birmingham Botanical Gardens (#)

„Through another set of automatic doors and I was in the Sub Tropical House, which was much more comfortable, but no less interesting. The plants have no doubt been chosen for their interest (and all were labelled informatively) examples are the cotton plant (Gossypium hirsutum), Camellia sinensis - tea is made from the young shoots of these pants, cinnamon and amusingly the senna (cassia senna) which has been used for the past 5000 years as a laxative!“

„A dualistic society, which distanced the traditional from the modern was created in North-East India as a result. While prospecting for oil in the Brahmaputra valley during the 19th century, British entrepreneurs stumbled upon Camellia sinensis (the tea plant). What followed was the phenomenal growth of India's tea plantation industry in the North-Eastern States of Bengal and Assam. This development, while positioning India's prominence in the world tea market, had an interesting (but un-noticed) casualty, namely, Coffee.“

„Specially modified mechanical tea harvesters perform a crown harvest, taking only the fresh leaf growth from the trees. While such harvesters can compromise the final quality of Camellia sinensis leaves, the heartier lemon myrtle leaf (it belongs to the eucalyptus family) is not damaged by mechanized harvesting, says ANFM’s Betts. Harvesting occurs from April through December, with the January to March break coming only because of monsoon season, when fields are generally too soggy for harvesting.“

An Introduction to the World of Tea (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„There are some very high quality teas being produced at estates in China, Taiwan, India, Japan, Sri Lanka, as well as in some other countries, that are both enjoyable and affordable. It’s interesting to see that while there are a great variety of teas, formed into different shapes and sizes, they actually all come from the same plant, Camellia Sinensis. Different flavors result from different varietals, differences in processing, different soils, climate, and elevation.“

„The tea plant itself is Camellia sinensis, a native of Southeast Asia. The tea brewed from the dried leaves of this plant has been drunk in China probably for thousands of years and certainly since the 10th century BC, from which time written records of its use survive. After the introduction of tea in 1657, Britain became the only European country of tea drinkers rather than coffee drinkers.“

Tea & Coffee 09/00 - Tea for 2000 Garden (#)

„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.“

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.“

„Fortune's overseas adventures included investigations into the commercial opportunities in growing tea. Commissioned by the British East India Company, he disguised himself as a Chinese peasant as he smuggled out cuttings of the tea plant Camellia sinensis from China into India. These cuttings enabled India and Ceylon to become established as major growers and exporters of tea.“

„China became the first of the great tea-drinking nations to use health to advocate the drinking of tea.

„The tea plant (camellia sinensis) grows best in a humid tropical or subtropical climate with plenty of rain. Areas that are well-drained, with a high-acidity sandy loam tend to produce the best teas. Higher elevations also yield better quality, perhaps because the evening coolness causes the leaves to grow more slowly, concentrating their flavor.“
