China Tea Museum

The_china_tea_museum

We here at chamomile tea benefits.org love travel and tea cultures from all over the world. One place steeped (pun intended!) in ancient tea history is, of course, China. In the province of Hangzhou is the China Tea Museum.

Hangzhou is the provincial capital and largest city of the Zhejiang Province in Eastern China. This city is not only famous for the natural beauty of the the West Lake and many historic and cultural landmarks including the Leifeng Pagoda where you can enjoy an amazing sunset view over the lake, the six harmony Pagoda, Ling Yin Temple but also it´s  home to the China Tea Museum and the Longjing Village, one of the birthplaces to Chinese Green Tea. Also very representative of the local Tea culture are the  Teahouses that line West Lake and where you see all the locals playing cards and drinking Green Tea.

Kukicha Tea Review

Chamomile tea benefits and chamomile tea are a wonderful way to enjoy tea, but its also great to explor new types of tea. One of my personal favorites is the Rooibus family, and one with a very simliar taste and aroma is Kukicha. This tea is very much similar to the very popular honey bush (which I adore).

The aroma is sweet and nutty reminds me a bit of the smell of freshly roasted nuts, although there is a woodsy tone to the scent as well as a slightly earthy quality too.  All of these characteristics translate to the flavor, which is caramel-y sweet with honey-esque tones, roasted nutty, with a wood-ish note.

Kukicha can be found in either a raw state or a toasted. My personal favorite variety is roasted, hands down. For a full review, check here. I highly reccomend we all give this tea a try!

Turmeric Tea

Turmeric-powder

Chamomile tea benefits are a great reason to partake, but there are many other teas and herbs that provide health benefits, and suprisingly, even spices!

 

While this is departing a little from the more traditional teas that I have been writing about, I am going to continue with another herbal tea; only this time it is turmeric tea. Turmeric is used in many dishes–it is a mainstay of many Indian curries for example–and it is also used in commercial preparations of mustard. However, its use is not as widespread as other spices or herbs; in fact Americans do not generally use it when preparing their foods very much at all. It is a shame, really, as recent studies have shown that it does have some rather spectacular benefits.

This tea boasts such benefits helping with depression and anxiety. To find out what other benefits turmeric has, check here
