A clinical study from the Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) has proved that a cuppa can be just as good as a glass of water at keeping your body hydrated. Sticking to the recommended four cups of tea per day gives the same quenching effects of water, without there being any negative side effects.

The reason why tea is such a soothing beverage is that it contains the amino acid, Theanine. Like all amino acids, Theanine contributes to the body’s growth and development; but it also has been proven to reduce anxiety, promote comfort and produce a general sense of well-being. This helps to explain why afternoon tea parties encourage and strengthen friendship bonds while creating a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.

This is not to test you word power or vocabulary, but I was just wondering if you ever heard of the word ‘Tsiology’. If you did not, you need not worry, for this is not the kind of word they taught you at school. However, i have always found the word a bit intriguing and also evocative. It is anything written about tea. Things like a discourse, summary, or paragraph. And a Tsiologist is one who studies tea.

Now while having your cup of tea you can easily impress your friends with your enriched vocabulary. Cheers..
