TEA
“Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage”
Catherine Douzel
Health benefits of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis
The tea plant, Camellia sinensis is known for its rich medicinal properties. The caffeine in the tea plant stimulates concentration and is invigorating, and black tea caffeine, which accounts for about half of the caffeine in a cup of espresso coffee, takes about 30 minutes to be fully absorbed into the body but gives an invigorating effect, which lasts about 4 hours.
