Tea
Tea is the most consumed beverage on earth after water. While tea is ubiquitous and can be mass produced, the world’s great teas are as outstanding in taste as the finest wines and rarest whisky’s. But unlike wine, tea will never give you a hangover or leave you feeling thirsty. It is delicious, hugely varied with a taste to suit any mood and it is one of the richest sources of antioxidants you can find.
