About Tea, instant, unsweetened, powder, decaffeinated
Tea is the world's most popular drink after water, brewed by steeping the cured leaves of the evergreen shrub Camellia sinensis in hot water. All true teas come from this one plant, and the differences between green, black, white, oolong, and pu-erh tea come down to how the leaves are processed and oxidized after picking. Tea is naturally calorie-free when unsweetened and contains caffeine, usually less than coffee, along with the calming amino acid L-theanine and antioxidants called polyphenols, including catechins, that are widely studied for their health benefits.
It can be served hot or poured over ice, plain or with milk, lemon, or honey, and forms the base of chai, matcha, and bubble tea. Herbal teas such as chamomile, peppermint, and rooibos are technically infusions made from other plants and are naturally caffeine-free. For the best flavor, steep tea in water at the right temperature - cooler for delicate green tea, near boiling for black - and avoid over-steeping, which draws out tannins and turns it bitter.
