How do you know what type of tea to choose?

We need to drink at least 1.5 liters of water every day. Drinking tea can greatly help you to reach these proportions. Before knowing which tea to choose according to your situation, it is important to remind you of the 5 types of teas that exist. First of all, there is black tea. Black teas are often flavored with flowers, essential oils or dried fruits. Then comes green tea. Green tea is often used in diets, especially for its ability to promote digestion.
