The tradition of drinking tea to maintain good health goes a long way back. In early Buddhist texts, Camellia sinensis (the tea plant) is consistently described as being a potent medicine for promoting good health and longevity, as well as keeping the mind alert and sharp and treating many ailments, from indigestion to the common cold.
The tea trade is one of the main industries in Sri Lanka, and is one of the leading countries to export fair trade tea to UK and a number of other coutries across the globe, often outselling giants such as Japan and Kenya.
