Description
Tea is a popular beverage prepared by steeping the processed leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) in hot water. Black tea has a distinctive aroma and a rich, refreshing flavour that can range from mild to strong depending on the tea leaves, water temperature, and brewing time. It is commonly enjoyed plain or with milk, and may be served with sugar or other flavourings according to personal preference. Tea contains naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols, and usually provides a modest amount of caffeine, which can help increase alertness. It is enjoyed in homes, workplaces, and social gatherings in many countries, including Pakistan, where chai is an important part of everyday hospitality. Unsweetened tea contains very few calories; however, adding sugar, milk, or cream increases its energy content. Its caffeine content varies with the type of tea and the way it is brewed, so people sensitive to caffeine may prefer smaller servings or weaker tea.
