Can't beat a Cuppa!

There's nothing me (and the rest of you brits) love more than a cup of tea! I'm ashamed to admit this, but I don't know a lot about tea, and so I thought I'd research some tea facts. The ones below are from the UK Tea Council's website : http://www.tea.co.uk/teafacts

- Tea contains half the amount of caffeine found in coffee.

- The number of recommended cups of tea to drink each day is 4, this gives you optimal benefit.

- Tea was created more than 5000 years ago in China.

- Tea is a natural source of fluoride that can help protect against tooth decay and gum disease

- Tea has potential health maintenance benefits in cardiovascular disease and cancer prevention.

- 98% of people take their tea with milk, but only 30% take sugar in tea.

I am part of the 30% who has sugar in their tea. Probably cancels out the health benefits, but oh well!

Bottoms up!
