Today the British drink more tea than any other nation--an average of 4 kilos a head yearly,or 1,650 cups of tea a year.They drink it in bed in the morning,round the fire on winter afternoons and out in the morning,round the fire on winter afternoons and out in the garden on sunny summer days.In times of trouble the kettle is quickly put on,the tea is made and comforting cups of the warm brown liquid are passed round.
What exactly is tea?Basically it is a drink made from the dried leaves of a plant that only grows in hot countries.The dried first heard of tea in 1589,and first tested it in about 1950.For nearly two centuries all tea was imported from china,until in 1823 a tea plant was found growing naturally in India.Sixteen years later the first eight chests of india tea were sold in London,and today london's tea markets deal in tea in tea from india,Sri Lanka,and Africa more than from China.
In Britain tea is the drink that cheers--and that is cheap.But there's darker side to the "nice cup of tea".Life is far from cheerful for many of those who produce tea in other parts of the world.Many workers on tea estates suffer from poverty and poor food.

如今,英国已成为世界上饮茶量最多的民族——平均每人每年要喝4公斤茶,或者说,1650杯.他们清晨在床上饮茶,冬日下午在壁炉边饮,艳阳之夏的清晨则在花园中饮.失意时,迅速满上茶杯,茶好了,杯润了,那温暖的褐色液体馨香四溢了.
茶究竟是什么呢?基本上,它就是一种饮品,用只生长在热带国家的一种树的干叶子制成的.这种干叶子首次被称作茶是在1589年,而第一次被品尝是在1950年.将近两百年的时间里所有的茶叶都是从中国进口的,直到1823年,一种自然生长的茶树在印度被发现.16年后,首批8箱印度茶销往伦敦.如今,在伦敦茶叶交易市场上,来自印度、斯里兰卡、非洲的茶叶要多于中国茶.
在英国,茶是物美价廉、广受欢迎的饮品.但好茶也有不好的一面.在世界上其他地方生产着茶的人们恐怕很难兴奋起来.很多茶叶产业的工人正忍受着贫穷和饥饿.
