Fresh Living blogger Holly Lebowitz Rossi, compiled a beautiful gallery on the healing power of tea. She did a good job of convincing me to try to the stuff. And as a coffee addict, that was a difficult task. To get to her informative and pretty gallery, click here. It begins ...
Tea isn't a casual drink; it requires the careful choice of the best leaves, the patience to wait for water to come to the right temperature, the knowledge of how long to steep, and the time to let the wisps of steam warm your face as you savor every sip.

Click through this gallery to learn about the healing properties of different types of tea, and to read inspiring ways in which tea imitates life.

I must have tea every day; it is my life, my sweetness, my hope. I have fibrocystic breasts (a benign but somewhat bothersome condition) and was told to cut back on my caffeine consumption to minimize the symptoms.
I'd rather have the symptoms than give up my tea. I'd like to put a plug in for the Grace Tea Company, who are online under that name. They sell great tea at reasonable prices and are beautiful people to deal with. Blessings to everyone.
Very good information done in a nice style. Tea continues to amaze me with its benefits. It seems to be in the news almost daily now. What a wonderful thing Tea is and it tastes soooo good!
Hi, everyone - I had to respond to Paul L, by sharing this gallery on the hidden health benefits of coffee! I wish I could drink coffee...the caffeine is a bad scene in my body....because it's one of my favorite smells in the world!
Here's the gallery:

I have been giving my son and wife oolong tea. They both have itchy skin, and it is helping.
Green tea has a high content of vitamins and minerals. It contains ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in amounts comparable to a lemon. Green tea also contains several B vitamins which are water soluble and quickly released into a cup of tea.
