About dates

Dates are rich in sugar and have a correspondingly high calorie content. This earned them the name "bread of the desert". Fiber, minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, and B vitamins make them a healthy snack. The content of the amino acid tryptophan is particularly interesting. The origins of the date palm lie in the Persian Gulf - today it is cultivated from North Africa to Afghanistan. Only the best dates are exported.

Cultivation

The variety of black teas is great. So is the taste. Traditional tea growing areas for black tea are Darjeeling, Assam or Sri Lanka. But also in Africa, especially in Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda, a lot of black tea is produced. Each cultivation area is unique due to its nature. Here one speaks of the so-called terroir of the tea. You may know this term from wine growing. It describes the individual characteristics of the land: Soil, climate, altitude, cultivation and the proper processing of the tea leaves.

Effect

Like all teas made from the tea plant, black tea contains caffeine. Caffeine and theine are chemically the same thing. The tannins - also called tannins - lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and also have an antibacterial effect. In addition, black tea contains important vitamins and trace elements such as vitamin B, manganese and potassium.
