The health benefits of tea Once a tall tree, the tea plant was cultivated into bushes for easy picking; the top two leaves and the bud are harvested. It is grown in the humid, misty mountains of India, China, Vietnam and Taiwan. Tea’s origins incorporate herbalism, yoga and spirituality. In enjoying the art of a good cup of tea, quality is everything. Things to look for when choosing a variety include a full-leaf tea, which is organically grown and Fair Trade Certified. The tea leaf is full of antioxidants, such as catechins and polyphenols, which help to combat the free radical damage inflicted by everyday life, including pollution and stress. The beverage also is known to be packed with amino acids and L-theanine, which elicit a state of calm, stimulate the mind, and heighten alertness and focus. Tea is an experience that elevates the mind and body, but its ritual is nothing new. Spiritual communities long have embraced the tradition of this age-old beverage
