TeaFrom a global perspective, only water is consumed more than tea as a beverage. India is the largest producer of tea followed by China and Sri Lanka. The four basic types of true tea are green tea, black tea, white tea, and oolong tea. In Asia, the same tea leaves are used to brew several infusions to reveal the flavors over the life of the leaf. Each infusion reveals a different flavor and often the 2nd and 3rd brewing are the preferred. For the best flavor, green and white teas are brewed at a lower temperature than black and oolong tea. Always heat the teapot, tea cup or mug before brewing with warm water so the hot water for the tea does not cool before the brew is completed. The water for black tea should be at the boiling point before brewing; the tea should be steeped no more than 3 – 4 minutes because it will become very bitter. Oolong teas are also brewed using boiling water and the leaves are used for several infusions. This is both an economical reason and also the flavor improves with the reuse of the leaves. Oolong tea is brewed for about 30 seconds. Green tea is brewed with water at no more than 175 degrees F. From a gift perspective, Green Tea and flavored Green Teas are very popular and healthy. Green tea drinkers that were tested appeared to have better immune system indicators then other tea drinkers. Tea is an infusion made by steeping tea leaves in hot water for several minutes. Tea may be a combination of tea leaves, spices, flowers, dried fruits, and herbs. Tea makes a nice birthday gift because of the varieties available and the packaging. Some gift accessories for tea gifts are: steeping pot of unglazed earthenware, decorative serving teapots, tea spoon infusers, crystal sugar, lemon stirring sticks, honey, jams, and fresh mint plant, and timers.

The gift coffee or tea is a beautiful and lasting birthday gift - each time the honoree brews a cup - you will be in his or her thoughts!
