It is an intimate ritual, a sensory experience, a moment of connection with oneself or a precious moment shared with those we love. Founded by a passionate couple, our mission is to offer exceptional teas, combining pleasure, well-being and health.
Today, we invite you to explore the captivating world of tea: its history, its varieties, its benefits and the best way to enjoy it.
The History of Tea: A Millennial Journey
Tea, one of the world’s oldest beverages, dates back over 5,000 years to China. Legend has it that Emperor Shen Nong discovered tea when a wild leaf fell into his boiling water. Since then, the plant has crossed borders, enriching cultures as diverse as Japan, India, and the United Kingdom. Today, tea continues to enchant the world, offering an infinite variety of flavors and benefits.
The different varieties of tea
All teas come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, but it is their processing that determines their characteristics. At Teabet, we offer you a range of teas selected for their exceptional quality.
Green Tea:
Little oxidized, it retains a high richness in antioxidants. With its fresh vegetal notes, it is known to improve cardiovascular health and promote weight loss.
Black Tea:
Fully oxidized, it offers robust and deep flavors. Very popular in the West, it is known to improve blood circulation and boost alertness.
White Tea:
The purest, picked before the buds open. Delicate and slightly sweet, it is particularly appreciated for its anti-aging effects and its ability to strengthen the immune system.
Oolong Tea:
Semi-oxidized, it is somewhere between green tea and black tea. Its taste can be floral or fruity, and it is known to aid digestion and stabilize blood sugar.
Herbal teas:
Herbal teas made from herbs, flowers and spices offer a wide range of medicinal benefits, from relaxation to digestive relief.
The benefits of tea: A balance between health and pleasure
Beyond the pleasure it provides, tea is full of health benefits, making it an ally of choice in the search for well-being. Here's why it deserves a place in your daily life.
Rich in antioxidants:
Tea, especially the green and white varieties, fights free radicals, delaying cellular aging and preventing certain chronic diseases.
Helps digestion:
After a meal, an oolong tea or a mint or ginger herbal tea promotes peaceful digestion and soothes stomach aches.
Supports Weight Loss:
Green tea and oolong tea are often praised for their ability to boost metabolism and burn fat.
Strengthens Heart Health:
Flavonoids in black and green tea lower blood pressure, reduce cholesterol and improve circulation, thereby protecting the heart.
Promotes relaxation:
Some herbal teas, such as chamomile, are known for their relaxing properties, promoting restful sleep and reducing stress.
The Art of Preparing Tea
For each cup to reveal all its magic, careful preparation is essential.
Quality water is essential: pure and without impurities, it enhances the aromas of the tea.
The infusion temperature varies according to the types of tea: 70-80°C for green tea, 90-95°C for black tea, in order to avoid any bitterness.
Brewing time is just as crucial. Steeping green tea for 2-3 minutes, compared to 4-5 minutes for black tea, helps preserve the balance of flavors.
