(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 09, 2013 ) Denver, Colorado -- It is said that tea was found in China around 2700 BC, but there is no written record for it. There is a document that suggest that it was first introduced approximately in 10th BC and the tea was used as a medicine.
It was not until 16th century when Portuguese merchants saw it when they were in China. By 17th century, it was imported to Great Britain, which in turn brought it to India. Now, the statistics shows that people drink tea more than any other drinks in the world except water.
WittyCuisiner, a Denver based kitchen tool company that sells kitchen measuring spoon set, recently posted an image of tea on its Facebook page. The spokesperson of the company says, "Tea has such a long history and not a lot of people know that it is consumed much more than coffee. We like to share fun facts about food and drink on our Facebook page to connect to our fans and consumers. We thought the fact about tea is a great one to share."
Several research suggest that tea has numerous health benefits. According to Wikipedia, it would lower the risk of getting cardiovascular disease and some kinds of cancer. It also could prevent other diseases that cause functional disability in the elder people. Additional potential benefits could be lowering blood pressure and helping with weight control.
The image of tea posted by WittyCuisiner shows a Chinese tea cup with several tea leaves and tea in it. The cup has some Chinese characters on the side, and it was placed on the saucer which also has Chinese writing on it. Then, the saucer is place on a piece of paper with writing which looks like mathematical formulas and calculation.
The image can be seen at the company's Facebook page as well as its other social media sites such as Twitter, Pinterest and Google plus.
