For the British, there are two days of celebration for tea. National Tea Day is on April 21 every year, but just a month later, it is International Tea Day.
Every year International Tea Day is on May 21. International Tea Day has been celebrated in popular tea growing countries like India and Sri Lanka since 2005, but was only accepted by the United Nations in December 2019. The date was then moved from its normal December celebration to May 21.
Tea is drunk in so many cultures. However, it is hard to say when the drink was invented. It is believed to have originated(起源) in the Yunnan region(地区) during the Shang Dynasty(商朝)(1600 BC—1046 BC) as a medical drink.
An early record of tea drinking is noted in the third century AD before spreading across the world. It became a popular drink in the 17th century in Britain. And the British went on to introduce its production in India.
Which tea is best for health Chamomile(甘菊) tea and green tea are tied for the first place when it comes to health. Both are considered the healthiest tea choices. However, they serve in different purposes. Chamomile tea cuts blood sugar levels. Green tea has been shown to improve blood flow and lower cholesterol(胆固醇)．
Does the milk go in first or second in a cup of tea This is an age old argument(老掉牙的争论). Then Twinings gave the answer. They said on their website, “Historically, the ‘milk in first’ rule was to protect the fine china(瓷器)it was served in—it's a very individual thing.” So there you have it, which side are you on
