Dec.15 - International Tea Day

[Jace]

There is no better way to start the day than with the pleasant taste of tea.

It is the most popular beverage in the world.

The main types include black, green, white, herbal, oolong and pu'erh.

Small Wonder
With over 20,000 different varieties of tea, it is amazing that the actual tea plant that the leaves are derived from - Camelia seinnsis, has only 6 varieties.

The Most Tea Expensive in the world
At $1.2 million kilograms, China's "The Big Red Robe" is the most expensive in the world.

Turkish Delight
You'd think the British consume the most tea, but it is actually people of Turkey who drink more than
anyone else.

Try a new flavor..from mint to apple, to a whole fusion of assorted ingredients.

I like all kinds..whatever my mood dictates..but my favorite is Earl Grey.

Do you have a favorite?

We drink organic green tea (peppermint) daily. Love it.

LOL. When the stores around here had run out of it, I ordered a huge amount from the manufacturer. So now we're stocked up.

 

[RadishRose]

I rarely drink hot tea...... maybe once or twice a year. Then, I like Earl Grey.

I luv my afternoon cuppa with a friend....

I am convinced that Brits have tea every afternoon with a huge selection of sandwiches, scones, and other sweets. I just know it's true.

Of course, I realize how ridiculous that sounds. LOL

English detective Hercule Poirot mentioned and had it.

Love Poirot. Although, I think the character was Belgian?

 

[IrisSenior]

I will drink (tea) to that!
