My food item - Tea
Tea is a flavored beverage, made by adding boiling
water to a teapot containing leaves or small bags of
leaves from the plant Camellia Sinensis. The leaves
release flavor into the water. The liquid is then poured
through a strainer over a cup which catches the leaves,
(or retained in the small bags).
Then drink and enjoy.
Tea was traded often by many countries like china, India
and Africa.
About Tea!
Tea is an energizing and fragrant beverage created by brewing the
tea plant Camellia sinensis in hot water. Tea is the second most
popular beverage in the world after water and is thought to have
been discovered in 2737 BCE by the Chinese emperor and scholar
Shennong.
Over 75% of the tea produced worldwide is black, 20% is green, and
the remaining 5% is made up of oolong, white, and yellow varieties.
In addition to these, tisanes, or herbal infusions, such as chamomile
tea, rose hip tea, mate, and rooibos tea, have gained popularity
throughout the world's tea communities. The absence of any
Camellia sinensis leaf material, however, distinguishes these
infusions from tea.

Trade of TEA
Tea was a beverage that was traded during the Indian Ocean
trade network. Tea was discovered by the Chinese Empire. Tea
was later traded to India and other countries in the Trade
network. tea was traded as it was highly valued and gave
essence to a part of beverages. Tea was the most unique out of
most beverages, as had an importance of its own. people also
thought at one point in time that tea was a gift from god
therefore it was a precious resource that everyone
considered.
Culture
Camellia sinensis was the plant, and the nation was China.
According to folklore, camellia leaves were accidentally
discovered to transform ordinary water into a fragrant beverage
that was so refreshing that it kept monks awake during extended
periods of meditation. Although the beverage would eventually
come to be recognised as tea.
According to the New York-based Tea Association of the USA,
which defines itself as the acknowledged independent authority
on tea, tea is currently the most popular beverage in the world
after water. According to the Tea Association of America, about
80% of American homes (158 million people) drink tea every
single day.
Why is The Indian Ocean
Trade Network Important?
For trade, the Indian Ocean has always been significant. Africa, Asia, and Australia
are all surrounded by water. The Indian Ocean has been and continues to be an
essential means of transporting resources from one location to another due to the
numerous cultures and nations that surround the region. Many good and valuables
were traded during this Vast network. The Indian Ocean trade network has
impacted the world alot. Budhisim was spread on from India, another religion
Sikhism was from india too. During this trade network many beliefs and values were
also traded instead of just goods and this prooves that the Indian Ocean Trade
Network is one of the most important trade networks in the world. The Afro-Asian
region was significantly and permanently impacted by the Indian Ocean commerce.
Trade generated affluence, and cultural awareness rose as a result. As things were
exchanged across nations, so were ideas and opinions.
