Active discussions

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. The word "tea" generally implies the use of tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), but tea can be made out of many plants.

Chemistry

Tea contains both theanine and caffeine as well as many other compounds known. [citation needed] The younger the leaf, the more caffeine it tends to have.[1]
