GP Flavours - Pure Ceylon Tea in Canada

Tea is one of the most highly consumed drinks in the world, running second to water as the most consumed beverage. It is a delicious and aromatic beverage that is brewed and served as either a hot drink or as an iced drink. It is brewed by adding specially prepared tea leaves to hot water and, while flavors vary by class and variety of tea, a typical Green Tea can be described as having an earthy, astringent taste and it is enjoyed by many people. Tea can be drunk without anything added to it, although some people like a bit of honey (or some type of sweetener) or milk with their tea.

Tea is a term used to describe the drink as well as the generic description of the leafy plant it comes from. The all-important tea leaf comes from the Camellia Sinensisplant, an evergreen that grows primarily in sub-tropical and tropical climates. While today it’s grown in many locations, it has its roots (pun intended) deep in Chinese culture going back thousands of years. It was the drink of Emperors and kept from the common people for a very long time, but today it is consumed greedily around the world.
