I love tea, I'm drinking some green tea right now

I love tea as well! It originated in Southwest China, where it was used as a medicinal drink.

Oh really? What was it used to treat?
1_Wizard
I'm not sure, but tea was popularized as a recreational drink during the Chinese Tang dynasty, and tea drinking spread to other East Asian countries.

Interesting, do you happen to know the most popular type of tea? I like green, myself.
1_Wizard
I'm not sure, but there are so many types of tea like Darjeeling and Chinese greens that have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavor, while others have vastly different flavor profiles.

Well there's Pu'er or pu-erh tea which is a variety of fermented tea produced in Yunnan province, China.
