In fact, South Africa ranks 13 out of 55 tea drinking countries in the world in terms of our tea consumption. To celebrate this fact, Joekels Tea Packers, tea experts and manufacturers of leading tea brands including Tetley and Laager Rooibos, is giving the public the chance to test its tea knowledge on the nuances around different types of tea, tea preparation and tea consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">\u201cFor many South Africans, tea has played an integral role in every phase of their life,\u201d said Candice Sessions, Joekels Marketing Manager. \u201cWe are very passionate about tea, and wanted to pass on some of this knowledge to other self-confessed \u2018teapots\u2019.

Rooibos is actually a herbal tincture made from the aspalathus linearis bush, while all \u2018true\u2019 teas &#8211; black tea, green tea, white tea and oolong &#8211; originate from the camellia sinensis plant. This is also the reason that Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free.

Rooibos is only grown in one region in the world \u2013 the Cederberg Mountains of the Western Cape.

Laager Tea4Kidz is one range of Rooibos tea specifically designed for children. However, Laager and Tea4Kidz partner dietician, Mapholi Mapholi said it\u2019s important to note that Rooibos tea should never replace milk for babies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">\u201cRooibos tea is healthy and suitable for babies that are at a recommended age to start eating and drink other foods and drinks &#8211; depending on a baby\u2019s readiness or at six months,\u201d she said. \u201cHowever, Rooibos tea cannot replace milk.

The first tea bags were created in the early 1900s in the United States by Thomas Sullivan. He originally created small silk bags to house samples of his tea to give to his customers. Some thought that the bags were intended to be put directly into the tea pot rather than emptied out, and so the tea bag was born by accident!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Black tea and green tea come from the same plant<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">True! Green tea is made from the same plant as black tea, camellia sinensis, but it doesn\u2019t go through the fermentation process that black tea does, so it retains a lot of its natural benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Green tea is best prepared with boiling water<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">False! Green tea has a very delicate flavour, which can become bitter if prepared with boiling water.

Green tea is best prepared without milk. Milk contains a protein called casein that negates some of the benefits of the natural antioxidants found in green tea. For those who find green tea too bitter, a squeeze of honey or a slice of lemon is a good idea. Alternatively, there are flavoured green teas such as Tetley Green lemon, mint, or apple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">8.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You should have a cup of green tea with every meal <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">False!

All teas have their own unique health benefits, including black teas. While teas like Rooibos and green tea often hold the spotlight in terms of health benefits, regular tea has its own set of benefits \u2013 including aiding alertness and endurance, and helping to eliminate toxins from the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">11.\u00a0\u00a0 Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and Ceylon are varieties of black tea<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">True!

The biggest mistake people make is re-boiling water throughout the day. Re-boiling water makes tea taste flat, which is why tea should always be prepared with freshly-boiled water.

It\u2019s really completely up to you. In days gone by, tea was an expensive drink enjoyed by the elite in fine bone China which would crack when hot water was poured directly into it. This started the ritual of adding milk first. However, if tea is brewed in the cup and not a teapot, then milk should be added once the teabag is removed to allow the tea to infuse properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">14.\u00a0\u00a0 Infusions are fruit teas<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">False! While many herbal and fruit infusions are referred to as teas, they are not actually tea as they don\u2019t contain tea leaves &#8211; camellia sinensis. Instead, they are made from a blend of real herbs, flowers and fruit, which create a flavourful beverage when brewed in boiling water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">15.\u00a0\u00a0 Tea is high in caffeine<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">False!

Master tea blenders and tasters, like Jonathan Kelsey of Joekels Tea Packers, will add milk at the end when tasting teas so they can evaluate tea colour. A good quality black tea should have a reddish or golden hue to it once milk is added, while poorer quality teas are generally a flatter, brown colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif';color: #7f7f7f\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">17.\u00a0\u00a0 Some Master Tea Blender\u2019s insure their tongue and taste buds<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm;margin-bottom: .0001pt;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt;font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';color: black\">True!
