Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the Camellia sinensis an evergreen shrub native to Asia. After water it is the most widely consumed drink in the world. Some teas like Darjeeling and Chinese greens have a cooling slightly bitter and astringent flavourwhile others have vastly different profiles that include sweet nutty floral or grassy notes. Tea originated in China possibly as a medicinal drink. It came to the West via Portuguese priests and merchants who introduced it during the 16th century. Drinking tea became fashionable among Britons during the 17th century who started large scale production and commercialization of the plant in India to bypass a Chinese monopoly at that time. The phrase herbal tea usually refers to infusions of fruit or herbs made without the tea plant such as steeps of rosehip chamomile or rooibos. These are also known as tisanes or herbal infusions to distinguish them from 'tea' as it is commonly construed.
