TEA TIME

All around the world , people drink tea . But tea doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea . In china, tea is always served when people get together . The chinese drink it at any time of day, at home, or in a tea house . They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.

Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea, called a tea ceremony. There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes. Another tea drinking country is England . In England the late afternoon is 'tea time' . Almost everyone has a cup of tea then . The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar . They also eat Cakes , cookies and little sandwiches at tea time .
In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually have tea in teapots. In the summer , many Americans drink cold tea - called ' ice tea'. They sometimes drink iced tea from cans, like soda .
