    BAB 2 LANDASAN TEORI 2.1 Tinjauan Data 2.1.1 Pengertian Teh Teh adalah minuman yang mengandung kafein, sebuah minuman yang dibuat dengan cara menyeduh daun, pucuk daun, atau tangkai daun yang di keringkan dari tanaman Camellia sinensis dengan air panas. Teh merupakan minuman yang sudah dikenal dengan luas di Indonesia maupun di dunia. Minuman teh ini umum menjadi minuman sehari-hari. Karena aromanya yang harum serta rasanya yang khas membuat minuman ini banyak dikonsumsi. Namun banyak masyarakat yang kurang mengetahui tentang kelebihan dari minuman tersebut. Manfaat teh antara lain adalah sebagai antioksidan bagi tubuh manusia, dapat memperbaiki sel- sel yang rusak, menghaluskan kulit, melarutkan lemak, mencegah kanker, mencegah penyakit jantung, mengurangi kolesterol dalam darah, dan menghilangkan kantuk. Teh melati merupakan jenis teh yang paling populer di Indonesia. Konsumsi teh di Indonesia sebesar 0,8 kilogram per kapita per tahun masih jauh di bawah negara-negara lain di dunia, walaupun Indonesia merupakan negara penghasil teh terbesar nomor lima di dunia. 2.1.2 Sejarah Teh di Indonesia Tanaman penghasil teh ( Camellia sinensis ) pertama kali masuk ke Indonesia tahun 1684, berupa biji teh dari Jepang yang di bawa oleh seorang berkebangsaan Jerman bernama Andreas Cleyer, dan ditanam sebagai hiasan di Batavia. F. Valentijn, seorang rahib, juga melaporkan tahun 1694, bahwa ia melihat tanaman teh sinensis di halaman rumah gubernur jendral VOC Camphuys, di Batavia. Pada abad ke-18 muali berdiri pabrik-pabrik pengolahan (pengemasan) teh dan di dukung VOC. Setelah berakhirnya pemerintahan Inggris di Nusantara, pemerintahan Hindia Belanda mendirikan Kebun Raya Bogor sebagai kebun botani (1817). Pada tahun 1826 tanaman teh melengkapi koleksi Kebun Raya, diikuti pada tahun 1827 di Kebun 3 4 Percobaan Cisurupan, Garut, Jawa Barat.
