Tea socks
What key to follow when choosing socks? Their high quality and durability play an important role, but what if all available models meet the technical requirements? Then visual qualities become the primary criterion. However, this is such a subjective category that it is impossible to determine what exactly plays the most important role. This is beautiful in its essence, because every person likes something different. If you love the natural world and could stare at plants for hours, there is a good chance that your heart will be won by floral socks. Many people like motifs that are related to beloved pets. Socks with dogs are a great choice for a walk with your pet, while socks with cats are perfect for an after-dinner nap with your purr. Sometimes culinary preferences come to the fore when choosing the perfect pair. Most of the time, favorite food becomes the inspiration, but in connection with International Tea Day, we suggest that it is this noble beverage that becomes the source of inspiration. In Poland, black tea is particularly popular, being the most preferred warm beverage next to coffee. In recent years, more and more people are also reaching for green tea, which is famous for its many valuable properties, including accelerating metabolism and helping to cleanse the body of toxins. Red, white, fruit, or maybe herbal? Among the dozens of types of tea, you will certainly manage to find your favorite. The same is true of socks. Some people will instantly love green socks, while others will like more the classic black model or crazy patterned socks.
A brief history of tea
Tea is made from the leaves and flower buds of plants belonging to the camellia genus. In addition, it is accepted that the name tea also refers to infusions of various herbs and dried fruits, such as lime tea or raspberry tea. The first surviving references to tea date back to the 10th century BC, but popular legend has it that the beverage was known as early as 2737 BC. It was then that the mythical Emperor Shennong was said to have made an infusion of tea leaves completely by accident. The drink turned out to be so good that its fame soon spread throughout China. What is certain, however, is that the Book of Tea dates from the 8th century. The author of this work is the Chinese poet Lu Yu, who included in his book, among other things, a description of the tea tree, as well as the characteristics of the utensils used in the ceremony of making and drinking tea. Today, the tradition continues to be cultivated, but the ritual itself takes a variety of forms depending on the region of China. Around 803 A.D., tea was brought to Japan, where the tea ritual also developed, but it differs greatly from the Chinese original. Within Europe, tea gained popularity in the 17th century.
