"Mrs Doyle: Sure didn't our Lord himself on the cross pause for a nice cup of tea before giving Himself up for the world!
Father Ted: No He didn't, Mrs Doyle!"
- Father Ted, 'Hell'.
Hello, I'm Niamh and this is my blog on tea. Over the next few weeks I will write about things like where tea comes from, how the plant is grown, where and when it was discovered, the different types of tea and where the different types of tea are popular. I chose to do my blog on tea because I like tea and I think it is very interesting.
Tea is a drink which can be served hot or cold. It is the second most widely drunk beverage in the whole world (after water). It is made from the leaves of the plant Camellia Sinensis which are cured and then steeped in hot water. There are many different kinds of tea, which can be made by preparing the leaves in various ways.
