Tea Facts

History & benefits

History of tea

Tea is among the world’s oldest and most revered beverages. Tea was first discovered in China 5,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty. Since then, tea has been cultivated around the world and has long been consumed as both a novelty and for medicinal purposes. Tea is today’s most popular beverage and one of the healthiest, next to water.

At Water Still, we have been brewing tea for over 35 years using our all-natural, custom-blended tea flavors comprised of high-quality tea leaves, dried fruits, herbs, and botanicals. Our teas are brewed fresh at each of our locations using our proprietary brewing process and ultra-premium water and ice. No flavor additives, syrups, artificial colors, or preservatives are used in the making of our teas. We like to keep things the way that nature intended and carry on the traditions of tea drinking for maximum flavor and health benefits.
