What's a Tea Bender???

A Tea Bender is someone who has decided to embark on a journey of discovery.

This journey starts with a special leaf from the plant camellia sinensis. When processed and then served as tea, this plant yields enormous health and lifestyle benefits to those who consume it regularly. We the creators of this blog have chosen to adopt the tea bending lifestyle because based on our research we have seen the following benefits:

• Tea has many compounds that improve overall health

• Tea compounds have been shown to improve immunity and fight diseases and viruses

• Drinking tea versus coffee, energy drinks, sweetened drinks, and many other drinks results in overall stabilized mood and energy throughout the day

• Adopting the tea lifestyle allows one to create new habits, and helps to remove bad habits

We want to document our tea journey and share with you here on this blog. We will post about the various teas that we find and consume, as well as share literature and scientific articles, tea processing, tea plantations and cultivation, and tea culture in general.

We will also document here our behavioral and psychological changes. Many people who have decided to embark on the tea journey have shared online their overall lifestyle improvements, and we also want to make positive lifestyle changes for ourselves and for our family and community.

We will also share with you our methods of selecting and pouring tea, which differ significantly from western styles and methods of serving tea.

A tea bender is someone who wants to change their lifestyle in a positive way and have chosen tea to help aid in this desire for lifestyle change.

Come and join us along this journey to become Tea Benders together.
