Chinese tea has a long history dating back 5000 years. Various types of Chinese tea were developed including green tea, white tea, black tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, dark tea, and scented teas. Each tea has distinct characteristics based on variety, processing method, and region of origin. Tea is widely consumed in China for its health benefits such as reducing cancer risk, lowering blood pressure, and improving eyesight. Proper storage and handling is important to prevent tea from losing nutrients or developing harmful elements over time. Used tea leaves can be recycled in products like tea-scented eggs, mosquito incense, hair care, and mouth fresheners.
