There is something about a piping cup of tea! Be it a morning cuppa, evening or mid morning, a hot cup of tea is nothing but a bliss. Drinking tea not only refreshes you but it also has an array of potential health benefits. Tea contains antioxidants and since it has less caffeine than coffee, it is always a better option. There are different kinds of teas such as black tea, green tea, white tea, yellow tea and fermented tea and they are divided into different types based on how they are processed.

We recently laid our hands on teas from across the world from a brand called Tea Culture of the World (TCW). As the name suggests, TCW sources teas from different parts of the world and prepares signature blends. From Kashmiri Qahwa to South African Rooibos, they have a wide variety of teas.
Tea Culture of the World (TCW) has 80 herbal and flavored teas and on each individual tea sachet, the makers have mentioned the health benefits, the quantity required to make hot tea and iced tea, the temperature at which to boil it and the duration to brew it. Also, their distinctive tea bags have whole leaves, not powdered tea. The bright packaging is definitely another thing that stands out. We tried eight different flavors, and here’s what we think about their signature blends.
This tea is also called red tea because of its brilliant red color. It is gaining popularity around the world and we were excited to try it. The South African tea has a sweet and woody taste and is smooth in texture. Since it does not contain caffeine, you can drink it any time of the day or even at night. Scientific studies have proven that Rooibos improves attention and concentration. This mineral rich tea also improves blood circulation.

Sencha is a Japan’s most popular type of tea. One thing that will draw you to this tea is the exceptionally beautiful hue of green color of the Japanese tea that has a hint of seaweed in it. It has a refreshing and mild taste. The grassy or seaweedy taste might be a little off-putting for some people, but we enjoyed drinking this tea.
