9.Of the three major drinks of the world-tea,coffee,and cocacola-tea is drunk by the largest number of people.
China is the homeland of tea.It is believed that China had tea as early as five to six thousand years ago,and the history of tea planting dates back to two thousand years.
At present,more than forty countries in the world produce 90% of the world's total tea.All tea trees in other countries have their beginnings directly or indirectly from China.The word for tea leaves or tea as a drink in many countries comes from the Chinese character"cha".
The habit of tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century,but it was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries.Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is very large and is still growing.
Tea has been a necessary part of people's daily lives in China for a long time.Countless numbers of people like to have a cup of tea after a meal.
In summer,tea seems to drive away the heat and bring on a cool feeling together with a feeling of relaxation.
In medicine,the tea leaf is very important to people who live mainly on meat.A popular saying says,"I'd rather go without salt for three days than without tea for a single day."
Tea is also rich in various vitamins and,for smokers,it helps to remove nicotine from the body.After drinking wine,strong tea may prove to be a good way to keep one's mind clear.
The above,however,does not mean that a stronger tea is better.Too much strong tea is bad for the stomach and can cause indigestion(消化不良).Drinking strong tea just before bedtime will make it hard for people to fall asleep.Often drinking very strong tea may give some people heart and blood pressure disorders,and make the teeth of young people turn brown.But it is not difficult to prevent these undesirable (不受歡迎的) effects:just don't make your tea too strong.
