Seven Layer Tea (text)

(Scroll down for the photo.)
Hey kids! Here's some famous seven layer tea from Srimongol, Bangladesh. Say it out loud, it's fun. This is the land of tea. And apparently the land of science as well. Extra credit for the first student who can explain the science behind the beautiful cup of "cha."

  1. There is an ever-increasing awareness of the healthful properties of tea. Modern science continues to elucidate the specific chemical compounds that appear to be the active ingredients in tea.

    However, what of the tea drinking ritual itself? Is it possible that spending some time every day preparing the tea, according to time-honored traditions, might also be beneficial? One gets a break from the stresses of the day, an appreciation of the aroma of a fine-grade, single-leaf tea, and hopefully, good conversation with friends. Perhaps traditional methods of brewing also release some as yet undiscovered constituent of the tea leaf. tyler simmons
