Tea : a drink for the soul

Everyone has a routine that they strictly follow , right? My routine is strict enough I guess. Waking up , making a hot piping cup of green tea with a dash of lemon in it even before I brush my teeth and making sure that I finish it before it cools down. This is what a great morning looks like to me. 

Tea traces its roots from the plant Camellia sinensis which has been cultivated in many parts of the Asian continent since many centuries. Although tea was introduced in India quiet late but the benefits of it were well known and revised by everyone across the globe. The types of tea depends on the ways the leaves are harvested and fermented during the procedure.
