HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP OF TEA - Making the perfect cup of tea is an exact science. Depending on the type of tea you prefer, you might need to keep the tea bag in water for a few extra minutes. For example, while white tea takes 2 to 3 minutes to make, herbal tea might take up to 6 minutes...and now you know, so you no longer have an excuse to make a lousy cup of tea :)
Not exactly the void. But I don't know how old they are.
But the brand still exists!

And now I'm having an existential crisis over what temperature it should be brewed at. Do you go the green tea 80C because it has green tea in it, or the black tea 100C because it's also got black tea?

How the fresh leaves of the tea plant are processed and their level of contact with oxygen determine resulting types of tea?
All tea comes from the Camellia sinensis plant, a warm-weather evergreen. During oxidation, tea leaves undergo natural chemical reactions that result in distinctive color and taste characteristics. Green tea is not oxidized at all—the leaves are steamed, rolled and dried while black tea is allowed to oxidize for two to four hours. Oolong tea falls somewhere between green and black teas, in that the leaves are only partially oxidized.
Tea is grown in thousands of tea gardens or estates around the world, resulting in thousands of flavorful variations. Like wines, each tea takes its name from the district in which it's grown, and each district is known for producing tea with unique flavor and character. Tea is also divided by grades, determined by leaf size. Smaller sized leaves are used in tea bags while the larger sized leaves can be found in packaged loose tea.
Herbal teas do not come from Camellia sinensis, but are an infusion of leaves, roots, bark, seeds or flowers of other plants. They lack many of the unique characteristics of tea and are not linked with the research on the potential health benefits of traditional teas.

Diabetes Management: Green tea may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, potentially reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The polyphenols in green tea have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help in managing inflammatory conditions and promoting overall health.
Dental Health: Green tea has been associated with improved dental health, as it may help reduce the growth of bacteria and inhibit the formation of plaque.
Liver Health: Some studies suggest that green tea may have protective effects on the liver and may help prevent liver diseases.
Longevity: Some population studies suggest that regular consumption of green tea is associated with a lower risk of mortality and increased life expectancy.
