The beginning of a new day is usually associated with coffee. However, there are people who prefer to see not a cup of tea on his desk. This drink in its usefulness is much superior to coffee. And proof of this are the results of numerous scientific papers.
Tea is an amazing gift of nature. He came to us from China. It was in this country for the first time that dried leaves collected from a tea tree began to be brewed. Currently, the most famous raw materials in the world are those that come from China and India. However, those who prefer to have a quality drink on their table do not have to buy products manufactured in these countries. Real connoisseurs of taste should try Krasnodar tea only once to understand that it is in no way inferior to its popular competitors.
A bit of history
Judging by the reviews, Krasnodar tea is quite unusual. Unlike Chinese and Indian, it grows north. That is why he has interesting and unique taste. The drink exudes a pleasant aroma. It has a velvety taste with turpentine and is very useful for humans.
The first bushes of tea began to be planted in the Crimea. However, they did not succeed in taking root there. After that, in 1878, gardener Reinhold Garbe brought plants from the Sukhumi Botanical Garden. Bushes were planted in Sochi, in the Mamontov estate. But even there they could not survive the winter. A little later, in 1884, tea bushes brought from China were planted on the same site. However, here, too, gardeners would fail. As a result, many abandoned the idea of growing tea, having concluded that it could not grow anywhere else north of Abkhazia.
A similar statement was refuted by Job Koshman, who had previously worked on Georgian tea plantations. In 1901, he planted 800 bushes brought from Chakva in Solokh Aul. The plantation was located at an altitude of 220 m, 30 km from the city of Sochi. The village of Solokh Aul became the birthplace of modern Krasnodar tea.
To grow such a useless plant, according to neighbors and authorities, the plant was not easy. Nevertheless, already in 1906, Koshman harvested the first crop, and in 1913, Krasnodar tea went to St. Petersburg at the Russian Riviera exhibition. In 1923, the domestic drink received a gold medal. It was given to him at the Moscow agricultural exhibition as the northernmost tea on the whole planet.
In 1940, the Dagomys tea factory was opened. However, the more serious scale of production of this drink became apparent only in the postwar years. During this period, the plantation area increased from 130 to several thousand hectares, for the processing of raw materials from which the Adler factory was built. The product she created was exported to 20 countries of the world, bringing annual billionth profit.
To date, two factories located in Matsest and Dagomys continue to operate in Russia. When compared with other world manufacturers, the volume of these industries is low. For example, in 2017, they produced 250 thousand tons of tea for domestic consumption and 455 tons for export. At the same time, all tea produced by factories is divided into 2 categories. It is massive, often blended, as well as clean expensive, which is produced in small volumes.
Tea Characteristics
The climate characteristic of the territory of Greater Sochi differs radically from where the plant originally grew, from the leaves of which people learned how to make a noble drink. Nevertheless, even with frosty winters, the tea bush was able to adapt, changing only its aromatic and taste qualities, as well as the growing season. In the Krasnodar Territory (Sochi), the leaves of this plant ripen somewhat longer, which is why the processes of fermentation occurring in them are slower. This leads to the appearance in the composition of northern tea more organic acids, caffeine, tannins, as well as some other components. Judging by user reviews, the taste of Krasnodar tea is more delicate and soft than black Ceylon. But the aroma of the drink has retained the classic.
However, such characteristics depend not only on the conditions for growing tea. Of great importance for their creation is also the process of collecting, processing and packaging of raw materials. Some farms still use only manual harvesting, which has long been considered traditional. Thanks to this, not only the whole leaf, but also the kidneys are involved in the processing process. The production of Krasnodar tea itself is located in close proximity to the plantations. This allows you to send for processing the freshest leaves of the plant. Next is the process, which includes:
- withering, in which part of the moisture is removed from the raw material;
- curl, contributing to the release of juice;
- fermentation;
- drying;
- packing and blending.
It is worth noting that in order for the drink to have the taste and aroma given to it by nature, a leaf torn from a tea bush is subjected only to gentle drying, creating a moderate temperature.

A wealth of nutrients
Tea is a plant with a complex and diverse chemical composition. A similar conclusion was made by scientists on the basis of its long study. Of particular value are water-soluble extractive substances found in tea leaves. Interestingly, in black varieties they contain about 40%, and in green - almost 50%. The list of these substances contains organic acids and essential oils, tannins and minerals, vitamins and pigments, pectins, carbohydrates and alkaloids.
Krasnodar tea is also very rich in composition. It contains amber and pyruvic, oxalic, furmaric and citric acids. These substances produce an exciting effect due to increased secretory function of the pancreas, as well as normalization of intestinal motility and improved digestion.
The Krasnodar tea grown in Krasnodar is rich in amino acids. These substances form a rich aroma of the drink, and also have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, taking an active part in its recovery.
The composition of Krasnodar tea contains from 4 to 7% of mineral components. And this is considered quite sufficient to provide a positive effect of the drink on the human body in the form of normalization of the activity of blood vessels and heart, prevention of atherosclerosis, etc. Among the rich composition of minerals, the most valuable in plant materials are: potassium and phosphorus, iron and manganese, iodine and fluorine, copper and some other elements.
Many consumers note the unusual astringent taste of the northernmost tea. It arises due to tannin substances. They are part of the tea, depending on its type, and their volume ranges from 15 to 35%.
The color of the Krasnodar drink is formed on the basis of the pigments contained in it. So, black appears due to the presence of carotene and xanthophyll, and green appears due to chlorophyll.
Krasnodar tea includes a wide variety of vitamins. These are vitamin K and C, B1 and 2, nicotinic and pantothenic acid, etc. But this type of drink is especially valuable because of its saturation with vitamin P. This element helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and also prevents the occurrence of hemorrhages. 3 cups of brewed Krasnodar tea are able to fully satisfy the daily requirement of the body for this vitamin.
In large quantities, this drink contains caffeine. This substance has a tonic effect. Thanks to this, a person's concentration of attention and working capacity increase. However, scientists note that the effect of tea caffeine is significantly different from that found in coffee. It affects the human body is much milder and does not accumulate in it. That is why tea is not able to cause overexcitation of the nervous system.
Krasnodar tea contains a small amount of carbohydrates. And this indicates a high quality drink. The fact is that with small amounts of carbohydrates they are not able to absorb vitamin B1, which allows this useful trace element to be fully absorbed by the human body.
Confirmation of the high quality of tea grown in the Krasnodar Territory, are in its composition pectin substances. After all, with their insufficient amount, the drink becomes very susceptible to increased humidity and much faster loses its taste and aroma.
It is worth noting that Krasnodar tea grows in areas where low temperatures are recorded in winter. Due to this, parasites are not able to multiply on its bushes, for the destruction of which large volumes of chemicals are required. All this allows you to produce an environmentally friendly product.

This component can have a negative effect on the intrauterine development of the baby.
In addition, tea, including Krasnodar, should be used with caution to those people who suffer from gastrointestinal pathologies, namely from a stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer.

The substances contained in this drink inhibit the work of such an enzyme, contributing to increased acid production. The result is ulceration. In this regard, people who have similar pathologies should refuse tea or minimize its use.
