Addicted to coffee? Watch this. | Supertea
The image that tea is mostly calming is understandable, but wildly outdated. It entirely depends on the quality, sort and way you drink tea.

However, once you get into good quality tea, it’s a whole other world. You will be surprised at how well a good sheng pu-erh is able to wake you up, or how mate can make your day much more energetic.

Watch this video to understand the effects better and learn about the best ways to consume this tea.

How can tea help us to better our mental health?
Tea is a tool that helps us to concentrate and put our thoughts in regularity. We taste different flavours, aromas and learn to differ their nuances. For example, the sort of tea from this video - Nantou Gaba Cha Oolong - has very interesting bouquet of brewed tea. I's fruity, with spice, biscuity, bready, doughey nuances, reminiscent of apricot kernel jam and marmalade. It's aroma is sweet and affectionate, fruity. It's taste is refined, full-bodied and soft, sweetish, with delicate berry sourness, transforming into refreshing finish.
