Nothing will happen if you accidentally swallow one or even a couple of tea leaves. It may just be a small inconvenience for you.

A high quality green tea can last 3 to 5 infusions. After that, the taste turns bitter. Discard them. Used tea leaves can do more harm than good. See similar questions...

You may use an infuser, such as a tea ball or brew basket, to hold the leaves or put them loose in the pot, then pour through a strainer. For more information, please see our definitions of "infuser" and "strainer." See similar questions...

After picking the green leaves (late summer/early fall), shade-dry them on a screen, allowing good air circulation from the bottom and the top. Best condition is one that will dry the leaves quickly but not overheat them. Never dry leaves in the sun. To test that the leaves are thoroughly dried, "snap" a leaf stem to make sure. You may also dry them in your microwave. Put some leaves between two paper towels and microwave for 60 seconds on high. See similar questions...

There are a couple of plausibility arguments. One is that the chart patterns represent the past behavior of the pool of investors. Since that pool doesn't change rapidly, one might expect to see similar chart patterns in the future. Another argument is that the chart patterns display the action inherent in an auction market. Since not everyone reacts to information instantly, the chart can provide some predictive value. A third argument is that the chart patterns appear over and over again. See similar questions...

Leaves loose in the pot: The leaves have maximum freedom to uncurl and circulate in the water, which makes for stronger and more flavorful tea. You can then strain the tea leaves out of the water by pouring through a strainer. Tea ball: Most tea balls are made of aluminum with small holes for water circulation. These are very easy to remove and clean. See similar questions...

Tea is known to be extremely sensitive to foreign odors, light, heat and humidity. For the sake of preserving the leaves at their freshest, it is recommended to frequently purchase small quantities and to store them at room temperature in a container which seals off light, odors and oxygen.

I’m glad you asked that. And I’m thrilled I can answer now in an age where I won’t be burned at the stake. All practices are worthy endeavors to help us explore the meaning of our life. To deny any one of them is to deny the myriad expressions of the divine. If the creator is in all things, as all things (and I believe it is) then divinity must be as valid in tea leaf reading as in reading the Bible. Or as valid as meditation. Or walking. Or dancing. Or Sufism. See similar questions...

Yes, if for any reason you do not want to take it in capsules, you may pull out the content and mix it with water, juice, or yogurt. See similar questions...

Tea is a drink made by infusing leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis, or Thea sinensis) in hot water. The name 'tea' is also used to refer to the leaves themselves; and it is also the name of a mid- to late-afternoon meal in the British Isles and associated countries, at which tea (the drink) is served along with various foods.

The caffeine content in tea averages about 1/3 the amount found in equal liquid quantities of coffee, about 28-44 mg of caffeine per cup. It is only a myth that green and white teas have less caffeine. The leaves contain the same amount of caffeine but you tend to brew green teas for a shorter period of time and this will lessen the amount of caffeine that ends up in the brew.

There's a lot of folklore and literature about the health benefits of tea. This is unfortunate, because tea is toxic and addictive. I advise against all tea, including herbal, black, oolong, and green. Herbal tea is not really tea, but a brew of herbs, which supposedly are beneficial, but actually are quite toxic. Black, oolong, and green tea all come from the same plant. Black tea has more caffeine; green tea has more antioxidants; and oolong tea is intermediate between black tea and green tea.

True "teas" come from the dried leaves of the Camellia Sinensis, the tea plant, from which black, oolong, green and white teas are produced. Products labeled as "tea" without the herbal designation must contain Camellia Sinensis. Herbal teas or tisanes do not contain Camellia Sinensis and usually have no caffeine.

The appearance of black areas on the surface of the leaves, following a hot sunny day may be the result of sunburn. Exposure to direct mid-afternoon sunlight during the late spring through early fall will scorch the leaves of some orchids. Increase the shading or move the plant to a less sunny location. If the blackened area increases in size, this is an indication of bacterial or fungal disease. Cut off the diseased area with a sharp, sterile tool(i.e., razor blade or knife).
