All around the world, people drink tea. But tea doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have different ideas about drinking tea.
People in China like to drink tea with nothing in it, and they often have it with their friends or by themselves. They have two kinds of tea—green tea and black tea. They may drink tea at any time of the day anywhere. But they don't often drink tea just before they go to bed, for tea makes them awake. In England, people like to drink tea with milk and sugar in it, and they often have it in the afternoon with their friends.
In Japan, people also like drinking tea very much. It is very popular there. They drink tea every day. They have it in a way different from that in China. Some young Japanese girls are good at making tea. They can do it beautifully.
In the USA, people drink tea at breakfast or after meals. They usually use tea bags to make their tea. Making tea with tea bags is faster and easier than making it with tea leaves in teapots.
Throughout history, many women have shown the world how powerful they can be. Meet some of them here.
