The Magical Drink

The whole world can be contingently divided into two large groups – coffee drinkers and tea drinkers. Coffeemaniacs can be usually described as passionate, hot-tempered and decisive people. They live in the emergency mode and constantly invigorate themselves with coffee. On the contrary, tea drinkers are reasonable, thoughtful and observant. Tea is considered to be healing beverage and there are sound reasons for this opinion.

All sorts of teas are derived from a single plant species which is called Camellia sinensis. The difference is in the degree of ripeness of this plant during the process of treatment. In the collected leaves begins the reaction of enzymatic oxidation which is then stopped by heating or vapor treatment. The earlier it is stopped, the lighter will be tea. Puer is made in a slightly different way – after the procedure of treatment the elaves undergo artificial aging.

Coffeemania

Coffee plays a very important role in modern society. As the rhyme of life increases people try to do hundreds of things and to be everywhere at once. The daily schedule of sleeping hours presents often a lame series of attempts to be awake when you want to sleep and to fall asleep when your head is filled with problems, plans and regrets of wasting your time on the night rest. In this mad world coffee appears to be a kind of fuel which most people use all day long to restore their energy. The whole coffee culture has developed and the coffee became a central image of it.
