Refreshing tea. Image courtesy: pexels.com   “ Do you want to have some tea? ” is the most asked question while welcoming a guest at home or starting any chit-chat on the street (though in a business meeting, we often offer coffee instead of tea to portray ourselves more professionally ;) ). No wonder, it is the most popular beverage throughout the world and it is consumed more or less by two-thirds of the total population of the world.
