Wars have been fought over tea...average tea. Songs have been written and sung about tea. Taxes have been protested by destroying good tea of someone else's. It's not just a British or Orient thing anymore! Now you can enjoy the worlds finest teas from around the world without having to outfit a crew and buy a tall ship...just click on the links below to visit the worlds online tea merchants and enjoy the tastiest teas money can buy. Tea is vastly under appreciated! Like coffee many unfortunate souls have only sipped commercial grade food store tea. Most unfortunate! Tea has shaped our planets history, early nautical exploration had nothing to do with exploration or adventure or the thrill of living in cramped quarters with a hundred rough and smelly men in a wooden boat in the middle of the ocean for months or at least until there was nobody left to eat...au contraire...The Queen throwing a hissy fit that she couldn't stand drinking that vile supermarket tea, was enough to send thousands of able bodied seamen running for anything that would float to hook her up with something a little flowery, a little more soothing, perhaps even calming. Ever hear a queen go off on a bitch fest...it isn't pretty...neither is the visual of the queen sipping bitter old market tea and the tag falling off...you have heard about the face that launched a thousand ships...that's it! Tea comes in many exotic varieties and is used for many purposes, in addition to the tasty beverage that it is. Some teas like chamomile are soothing and relaxing. The orient, known for it's love of teas, rely on green tea as a natural way to reduce toxins and cleanse the system. Pekoe and Darjeeling teas are known around the world for their rich flavor. Like coffee, great teas are awesome. A true tea drinker knows that a nice warm cup of tea is a sensual experience.
