History of tea

China has a long history of drinking tea, and the exact time cannot be verified, but there is a general statement about the time.

We can also find evidence that the habit of drinking tea in many parts of the world was handed down from China. Therefore, many people think that drinking tea was initiated by China people, and the habit of drinking and growing tea in other parts of the world was passed down directly or indirectly from China.

However, some people can find evidence that the habit of drinking tea was invented not only in China, but also in other parts of the world, such as India and Africa.

Green tea contains a component called catechin, which has a strong antioxidant effect. Catechins extracted from green tea can support skin care products, which can help skin resist the damage of sunlight when applied to the skin. Of course, drinking green tea directly also has a sunscreen effect.
