What does “healthy tea” actually mean? Are there already any scientific studies revealing more details on the effectiveness of ingredients on the human body? Which ingredients play a special role in this context?
And how do tea traders deal with the topic of “healthy tea”? Is it possible to observe a history of how tea as a luxury commodity developed to become a lifestyle product for health-conscious customers? What does tea-drinking stand for today, and what are the future trends?
Make yourself comfortable with a nice hot cup of your favourite tea and join us on a journey through the world of tea!
